Down in the Deep

[Verse 1] I stood on the pier at dawn Watched the water go dark and gold Every line on the surface lied About the worlds down below Salt on the rails, wind in my mouth I felt small as a peeled-back shell You can map the coast all day Still the deep keeps its own spell [Pre-Chorus] And under that blue There’s a thousand truths Hidden from view Just waiting for you [Chorus] Down in the deep, down in the deep Life is a lantern you carry Down in the deep, down in the deep You learn what the dark can marry Every lost thing drifts Every scar still lives Down in the deep, down in the deep That’s how the living is [Verse 2] Some days I’m all glass and skin Some days I’m stone and silt I send my hope like a bottle out And trust what the tide has built The waves don’t ask who you were They just keep folding the shore If I sink through my fear tonight Maybe I’ll rise with more [Pre-Chorus] And under that blue There’s a thousand truths Hidden from view Just waiting for you [Chorus] Down in the deep, down in the deep Life is a lantern you carry Down in the deep, down in the deep You learn what the dark can marry Every lost thing drifts Every scar still lives Down in the deep, down in the deep That’s how the living is [Bridge] Maybe the heart is a trench Cut by pressure and time Maybe the soul learns to glow When it’s buried in brine So I won’t fear the unknown If it’s calling my name Even the blackest sea Still knows how to change [Chorus] Down in the deep, down in the deep Life is a lantern you carry Down in the deep, down in the deep You learn what the dark can marry Every lost thing drifts Every scar still lives Down in the deep, down in the deep That’s how the living is
