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
