Lyrics

At the bottom of the ocean
The pile up for warmth
Pressing their face against the glass

In the middle of the torment
You pull the others close
Dive beneath the waves, escape your past

Ooh, in the water I see light
In the water I see everything
In the water, I see light

If you listen for it closely
The melody descends
Their cries of lamentation, heard for miles

Falling with the carcass
They strip it to the bone
Rebuild their stony cage, out of the bile

Ooh, in the water I see light
In the water I see everything
In the water, I see light

They’ll be waiting patiently
For the trees to fall
For the rains to come
For it all to fall
For the pain to come
For us to tear it down
So they can make us whole
And we’ll be dirt again
We’ll be sand again
We’ll be grit again
We’ll begin again
When we finally hit the bottom of everything

This one started as a #Jamuary project: ryansholin.tumblr.com/post/706920361657319424/ryansholin-jamuary-19-ocean-floor-jamuary

I had been reading How Far The Light Reaches, and loved the chapter about the animals that live on the ocean floor near hydrothermal vents.

So the album starts with Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill again, and ends at the bottom of everything.
