[Verse 1] Drowning in the sorrow Since you left that door Your boots by the entry Still scuff my floor Mama says my face is hollow I keep saying I’m fine But I taste that river Every single time [Pre-Chorus] The more I fight The tighter it holds Your name on my tongue Like ice in my throat I reach for the light It fades from view And I fall again Back into you [Chorus] The deeper down I go The deeper down I go (deeper down I go) I can’t outrun the hole The deeper down I go The deeper down I go (deeper down I go) My brother’s shadow pulls me low [Verse 2] Your chair stays waiting By the window pane I set two plates out Then I clear one away I hear your laugh In the screen door slam Then the whole house bends Like it’s made of sand [Pre-Chorus] The more I speak The less it heals I carry your absence Like a cut that feels And every prayer Comes back in blue Still I fall again Back into you [Chorus] The deeper down I go The deeper down I go (deeper down I go) I can’t outrun the hole The deeper down I go The deeper down I go (deeper down I go) My brother’s shadow pulls me low [Bridge] If I made it through tonight Would you find me on the other side If I made it through the rain Would you say my name? I’m not gone I’m still here Just learning how to breathe through fear [Final Chorus] The deeper down I go The deeper down I go (deeper down I go) I can’t outrun the hole The deeper down I go The deeper down I go (deeper down I go) I’ll keep your light inside my soul
