Emery - To the Deep Lyrics

This is where the world ends and we leave our friends behind
The sky is falling in stones of water, the river's now in sight
I have thought this all my life, but wondered if you'd try
I was half asleep when my bride's words awakened me

We were always sure that the pages would be written
Not from our hands but the words you left inside of us
We were filling pools with ourselves and ambition
And here we are drowning out from our lives

To the deep, to the deep

The square of forty and I sit here listening in my head
The voice of angels or am I crazy, these places that were said
Would build a family but nothing from her could ever grow my name
Oh what lies we will believe but I'll find my own promises to keep

I set my feet on the ground I put my back to this place
(The death here, I feel all around us)
I used the words in my mouth and felt the sun on my face
(Could we leave and never return)
We will all weigh the cost and the friends that we've lost
(It's safe here but destiny's unknowable)
But for us I fear, these words I hear

We were always sure that the pages would be written
Not from our hands but the words you left inside of us
We've been filling pools with ourselves and ambition
And here we are drowning out from our lives
