Lyrics

Deeper Down

[Verse 1]

By the end of the bout

He was punched out

Fists capsized, muscles shouting

Deeper down

He felt the insult of a kiss

[Verse 2]

Deeper still than we can go

Further out than triremes row

Drowning slow

His memories persist

[Verse 3]

Out beyond the telescopes prowl

Up above the towers touched up pile

He realized

This mystery is his

[Verse 4]

Underneath the ocean floor

The part of who we are, we don't explore

I adore the meaninglessness of the this

We can express

[Verse 5]

By the end of the bout

He was punched out

Fists capsized, muscles shouting

Deeper down

He felt the comfort of a kiss
