[Verse 1]
Mask on
Cold breath in the glass
Heartbeat loud
Like a warning blast
Weight belt pulling me down so fast
Did I come here to drown
Or to face what’s passed
Dark edge
Where the daylight bends
Sand prints
From my oldest friends
Every fear that I thought I’d rinse
Still clings to my skin
Like a second sense
[Chorus]
I’m the inner light diver
I bring the day to the deep
I decide what’s shadow
What I bury
What I keep
Even shallow water cuts like wire
If I’m diving in my sleep
I’m the inner light diver
And the abyss is mine to read
[Verse 2]
Steel wreck
Like a rusted thought
Half-truths
In the beams I spot
Little ghosts in the masks I bought
All the names I believed
That I was and not
Slow kick
In the silt I raise
Old shame
Swirling through the haze
When I look it straight in the face
It softens and folds
Into open space
[Chorus]
I’m the inner light diver
I bring the day to the deep
I decide what’s shadow
What I bury
What I keep
Even shallow water cuts like wire
If I’m diving in my sleep
I’m the inner light diver
And the abyss is mine to read
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Low chant under lead guitar]
If I don’t see it
It still can pull me under
Quiet can roar
Like distant thunder
If I don’t name it
It still can call my name (my name)
So I turn my face
To the darkest flame (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the inner light diver
I bring the day to the deep
I decide what’s shadow
What I bury
What I keep
Even shallow water cuts like wire
If I’m diving in my sleep
I’m the inner light diver
And the abyss is mine to read
[Outro]
Slow rise
To a softer blue
One breath
Then I go back through
Every depth that I walked into
Was a map that I drew
Just to get to you (to you)
