Understanding The Depths Lyrics - Singles - Far Away Stables

The dust and debris collapsed to the oceans and the seas 

It flashed and erupted, the gods crippled with laughter 

And i was powerless to pretend that i wasn't in control 

Of all the cities that glittered this was the city that glowed 

How could you choose water over wine? 

When there's so much to spare 

Save your breath tonight's not done with you yet 

You can't understand the depths until all you know becomes unknown 

Who are we if not the walls that surround us? 

Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear 

Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones? 

Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear 

Cue the sun, the siege has passed, the tide has spoken and his words fall fast 

Will I ever learn before I wash ashore 

Or is this a scar that I've grown to adore 

Who are we if not the walls that surround us? 

Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear 

Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones? 

Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear 

You can't resent the road that gave you something to lose 

We're just the sum of the paths that we came through 

So hold your breath like it's everything you have 

Let it divulge and digest cause it's running out too fast 

It's like floating on an open door or watching waves from underwater 

So let's pretend that we, let's pretend that we understand the depths 

Of what's buried in our chests 

What we've evolved to hide behind the sternum or is it pride? 

It's a power you can't ignore, spend a lifetime searching for 

But will we ever know?
