Depths II

[Verse: Garrett Russell]

All the world was a dream I couldn't shake

In a midnight reverie of which I'll never wake [1]

That started mundane enough

With an incessant tapping on the windowpane, separating me from the storm

Where inside I sat, me the loathsome fool [2]

With my head cocked sideways in confusion

But as my looking glass [3] became a two-way mirror

And you can watch me hide from everything on this living sphere

But don't you dare darken my doorstep, [4] stranger

Never a step more, no, no, nevermore [5]

You see, I have this reoccurring dream

Where we snuck past scores of slumbering guards

And fixed that rustic iron key and that lock to set you free

"I would bring you liberty" where, in reality, I'm a coward

I'm collateral matter, swayed by banalities of time and space, I'm a name without a face [6]

My trepidation reached threshold, my terror turned to madness

When I awoke I was swinging at shrouded silhouettes and stumbled out the door

My anger was extinguished by this downpour

Compelled, void of volition

My steps propelled me through this chronic storm

Where there in the clearing, throughout the gaps in the trees

Dark smoke flickered from fire, illuminating my unease

Like clockwork, seven sisters [7] turned together in a circle

Autonomy abandoned, they moved singular and perpetual

Around a dark blue flame where I heard you call my name

[Chorus: Garrett Russell]

"I am the fire that is never quenched

And I am the river that will not run dry"

When I slept in that garden [8]

Lord, did you see me as I was dreaming?

[Outro: Garrett Russell]

This is the end of everything

We'll lose our divisions and forget our names [9]

The precipice of eternity

I caught fire, I caught fire

I caught fire, and you'll watch me burn
