Gra.al - Deep Ocean Trench

Lyrics: Down where the black mud presses My ribs learn a new shape Cold water in my mouth now No room for a mistake The gauges blink like warnings The hull groans in my bones I count the cracks in silence Like tally marks on stone And I swear I know this feeling When the floor gives way below Same weight in a blue blackout Same slow, heavy low Deep ocean trench Deep ocean trench I cannot move I cannot breathe Deep ocean trench Deep ocean trench Same weight at work Same weight on me Boss at the door at nine sharp Dead eyes on a screen Every task stacked higher Till it leans on me Coffee on the counter Cold by the second bell My name in a message thread Feels like a sinking shell And I swear I know this feeling When the floor gives way below Same weight in a blue blackout Same slow, heavy low Deep ocean trench Deep ocean trench I cannot move I cannot breathe Deep ocean trench Deep ocean trench Same weight at work Same weight on me If I could kick one stone loose If I could find one seam I’d climb through all that pressure Back to my own bloodstream But the hours keep descending And the water keeps its claim So I sit inside the bottom And learn to spell my name Deep ocean trench Deep ocean trench I cannot move I cannot breathe Deep ocean trench Deep ocean trench Same weight at work Same weight on me This song can be taken literally or not ;) Cheers
