[Verse 1]
She said
“The abyss of echoes
Is deeper than it looks”
Where the louder that you’re talking
The less you ever look
Faces nod in blue half-dark
Eyes fixed
Breathing thin
Every story sung like scripture
No one asks where it’s been
[Chorus]
In the deep
Deep
Deep
Where the echoes feed each other
Every word we keep
Gets heavier than the last
Clingin’ to beliefs
Like bottles marked for cover
Take a breath
Take a breath
Are we drownin’ in the past?
[Verse 2]
People clutch their certain answers
Like tanks upon their back
Hissin’ comfort in their ears
While the gauges all go black
Every doubt gets pushed to silence
Every whisper turned to roar
You can’t hear your own small heartbeat
Over all that “either/or”
[Chorus]
In the deep
Deep
Deep
Where the echoes feed each other
Every word we keep
Gets heavier than the last
Clingin’ to beliefs
Like bottles marked for cover
Take a breath
Take a breath
Are we drownin’ in the past?
[Bridge]
What if we just float here
Let the water in our lungs
Rinse away the rusted phrases
We’ve been livin’ on our tongues
If we loosen up the tank straps
Let the questions start to rise
Maybe truth is in the quiet
That survives
That survives
[Chorus]
In the deep
Deep
Deep
Where the echoes feed each other
Every word we keep
Gets heavier than the last
Clingin’ to beliefs
Like bottles marked for cover
Take a breath
Take a breath
And come breakin’ from the past (oh-oh)
Take a breath
Take a breath
And come breakin’ from the past
