Lyrics

Drop by drop
The dark replies
A second depth
Behind the eyes

Stone mouth open
Cold rope frays
We lower our names
Into older days

Hands on the wall
Salt on the skin
The first well ends
Where the next begins

Down where the black water sleeps
Something below us breathes

There is a well below the well
Where the old names fell
There is a voice beneath the stone
Calling us home

There is a well below the well
No light can tell
How far we go
How deep we know

Coins in the water
Teeth in the clay
Wishes forgotten
Still know what to say

A face in the ripple
A mouth without sound
The deeper we listen
The less we are found

Down where the black water sleeps
Something below us breathes

There is a well below the well
Where the old names fell
There is a voice beneath the stone
Calling us home

There is a well below the well
No light can tell
How far we go
How deep we know

Do not drink
Do not kneel
What it gives
It makes real

Do not speak
Do not swear
The dark below
Is already there

There is a well below the well
Where the old names fell
There is a voice beneath the stone
Calling us home

There is a well below the well
No light can tell
How far we go
How deep we know

Drop by drop
The dark replies
A second depth
Behind the eyes
