The Ocean Floor

It's hard to get a solid breath down here My lungs are burning The pressure is as thick as my fear But it's worth what I'm learning Cause down in these depths I can see Our history unfurling Come I'll show you what we've lost Light's just a memory down here Like lost change in couches There's nothing for as far as I can see But remnants of houses Up and down up Up empty streets I count the empty cars And the sky scrapers don't scrape the fan anymore The earth reclaims these holes Dug this world in as its own Now it grows along the bones There's light from what we'd saw There are worlds beneath our world And deep beneath the skin We always peel the layers back again We peel the layers back again We peel the layers back again (repeat)
