Down Here

(album: Everything Is Alive - 2023)

That's me
A robitussin dream
An underwater trip
Everything is moving

By
Behind a syrup screen
Just as it is
Or as it was
Or will be

Down here reds are redder, water is wetter
Down here life is more alive

And you
You got a front row seat
To whatever show this is
Bubbles at your feet

But you've been
Holding too many things
For so long
Too many little ones like me

Down here reds are redder, silence is deader
Down here life is more alive

Cause what you loved
When you were young
Will never make you young again
There will come
A time to let it go, go, go

Down here reds are redder
Down here life is more alive
Reds are redder, you and I are better
Down here life is more alive

The drop
Is further than you think
Is it the night or the nightjar
Or the storm crackling
