Lyrics

Deeper

The breakfast is all laid out,
Waiting for you to arrive,
The sun is just rising,
And going down again

Deeper, deeper,
Oh piece me together again,
Deeper, deeper,
You burn a hole in the world

I have to know how it feels,
And I am not afraid,
This is the house we built,
All else falls away

Deeper, deeper,
Oh dare we put our tongues to the flames?
Deeper, deeper,
Oh send the others away

You plug the yawning void,
And the world parts for you,
The sucking sun, in his sucking sky,
You lift him into the room

Deeper, deeper,
The smile across my face,
Deeper, deeper,
The fires inside you race
