Echoes in the Deep

[Verse 1] Boots slip on the black glass stone Breath fogs Hits my cracked old visor Pickaxe weight in a shaking hand Heartbeat louder than the spiders One torch left in this dark throat Every step kicks loose my doubts If I fall here Way down below No one’s pulling my body out [Chorus] I’m exploring the deepslate Where the shadows sound like my name Every crack Every cavemouth Looks a lot like all of my shame If I get lost in the dark this time Let the monsters stare me in the face I’m digging through fear and fractured rock ’Til I find a softer place [Verse 2] Lava sings at the chasm’s edge Orange scars in the frozen black I see all of my failed tries Glowing hot in the walls I cracked I’ve been mining the wrong veins Chasing glitter that turns to dust Now I’m carving through this bedrock Just to see if I can trust
