Shallow Well

Keep seeing shapes on the wall
Revealing shadows of my shoreline
Keep reading signs
Deep seated lines
That run straight across the silent mind

Say I'm fine (doubtful)
All the time

I'm going down to the waterline
And fill this shallow well of mine
Out to the ocean side
Get a sense of where am I

Get a sense of the world
Overwhelming feeling for the way things are
You start seeing black
So you go reeling back
Back for every sound from her deeper down

Say I'm fine (trying)
All the time

I'm going down to the waterline
And fill this shallow well of mine
Out to the ocean side
Get a sense of where am I

Run my fingers through the sand
Walk the line between the sea and the land

I'm gonna shed this hollow shell
I'm gonna fill the shallow well

I'm packing my things for the war
My head spins with wonder at what I'm gonna bring
Into a whole ship
The shadows of my soul bearing
Everything at my subterranean spring

Say I'm fine (doubtful)
All the time

I'm going down to the waterline
And fill this shallow well of mine
Out to the ocean side
Get a sense of where am I

Where am I....

I'm gonna run my fingers through the sand
Walk the line between the sea and the land
