Lyrics The Ocean Floor - Electric President

The Ocean Floor

It’s hard to get a solid breath down here
My lungs are burning
The pressure is as thick as my fear
But it’s worth what I’m learning
'cause down in these depths I can see
Our history unfurling
Come, I’ll show you what we’ve lost
Light’s just a memory down here
Like lost change in couches
There’s nothing for as far as I can see
But remnants of houses
And up and down abandoned streets
I count the empty cars
And these skyscrapers don’t scrape a thing anymore
The earth reclaimed these homes
Took this world in as its own
Now it grows along the bones
Draws life from what we’d sewn
There are worlds beneath our world
Hidden deep beneath the skin
We always peel the layers back again
We peel the layers back again
We peel the layers back again
We peel the layers back again
