The Deep Is Anywhere But Here Lyrics

Did you ever feel like you want to sleep?
Not because you're tired, but because the deep is
so much bigger than your little brain....
it seems there's space to remain alive.
Today, I feel paralyzed,

like maybe there's no place for me anywhere but here,
except maybe in the basement where I stockpile my gear.
I think I'll head down the stairs,
make a world without fear.
Then I'll know that I can move at all...
anywhere but here.

Did you ever take a shower
because you don't know what to do?
Stand still and let the water wash the scared right off of you:
run down the drain until the water runs clear
and nothing remains anywhere but here
