Crawling Deeper

歌詞

I'm crawling deeper in this hole where it's too cramped to move like you do And where the echoes blend my words into a language of their own And I think the corners I am turning dull my lantern to the outside And the less that you remember me, the more this path is overgrown And the way back is just a lucky break that Connects me to the dressing up of melody, the bite of infidelity And I'd long to swallow one more old song Pretending that I have a chance to make you care about this failing solitaire Where I'm in here and you're out there 'Cause I'm crawling deeper in, into my own skin Where there's no one to chase away Or to guess the next thing that I say I'm invisible to you, to your bird's eye view I know the angle all too well It's how I saw before I fell And now it's not so hard to tell I'm crawling deeper in myself And these corridors are veined with every word we've ever spoken And the story that they tell is just a wheel within a wheel But every time I think I'm crossing into where you cannot find me You are always right behind me, half inside me, half unreal I forget all the skies and crocus petals A time without retreating like a refugee from such imagined treachery Now silent, I'm searching out this island Pretending that I have a chance to make it where the morning's not recycled air And you're more than a prayer Because I'm crawling deeper in, into my own skin Where there's no one to chase away Or to guess the next thing that I say I'm invisible to you, to your bird's eye view I know the angle all too well It's how I saw before I fell But now it's not so hard to tell I'm crawling deeper in myself
