Sinking Beneath the Deep Sky, After Dark

When I was nine
My mother told me not to lie
The water inside my frame of mind
Bowed and distorted my size

How can I tell
If I meant what I said to myself?
How can I tell
If the meaning is clear at all?

I know one day I'll find you
And you'll be new
But I don't need to think of that yet

And now when I
Cry I don't see why
A pool drowns my child

How can I tell
If I meant what I said to myself?
How can I tell
If the meaning is clear at all?

I hope one day I can cry
And I'll know why
But I don't need to figure that out

Listen to yourself now
Slow down
Pick up all the hurt
Bring it to your chest now
Love it like you love
Laying in the dirt
Sinking beneath the deep sky
After dark
