lyrics

Float like a feather rise like a wave
lacerate skin paper page
cut the layers hair turns grey
shadows so dark whose is this face
hands that create shall be my demise
trapped in a shaft old coal mine
canaries fly in but out they don't fly
black are the lungs black are the eyes

There's a darkness over the holler
darkness haunting my heart
shoveling all of this rock
no sleep in sight when the entrance is blocked
and the entrance is blocked

Gas fills my brain carbon monoxide
fatherless child widowed wife
company store took every dime
dare you place value on a mans life
water's so pure flowed from these hills
then came slurries chemical spills
brake the back destroy the will
level the land so pockets they fill

There's a darkness over the holler
darkness haunting my heart
shoveling all of this rock
no sleep in sight when the entrance is blocked
and the entrance is blocked
