the light travels slow across the floorboards ((watching how the shadows stretch and bend)) waiting for the silence to descend i pause right here before i speak my name running ten scenarios through the frame a simple question opens up a door to everything i've never seen before i'm mapping out the currents in the air while you just see a person sitting there it's a woven web... a heavy kind of gift to feel the tectonic plates begin to shift i see the root beneath the bending tree you see the forest... i see history i'm diving down while the world just ski-ms the surface looking for the pearl inside the gray but by the time i rise to show you what i've found the conversation's moved miles away yeah i'm deep in the current... you're safe on the shore i find the meaning in the spaces my silence is a library of thought reviewing every battle that we fought i replay every word you ever said spinning loops inside my crowded head it's not that i am checking out of this i'm zooming in on what the others miss ((i'm diving down)) ((diving down)) the pearl is not for showing the pearl is for the finding i'm diving down while the world just ski-ms the surface looking for the pearl inside the gray but by the time i rise to show you what i've found the conversation's moved miles away yeah i'm deep in the current... you're safe on the shore i find the meaning in the spaces ((diving down)) ((diving down)) ((the pearl)) ((is for the finding))
