Lyrics

Everything's A Ceiling

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Way way down in a hole, there's no feeling

Cause when you're so far beneath

The floor everything's a ceiling

We dug it down as deep as we

Could just like we planned it

But when you climbed out you

Pulled the ladder and you left me stranded

So what am I supposed to do?

I'm calling out to you

But you're miles away, it's true

Digging with someone new

So far down in this hole, there's little daylight

I feel the shards of the midday

Sun and then it's black as midnight

The only stars I see in the sky

They don't move me

Cause they've all been dead for millions

Of years, they're just light diffusing

And the constellations move and the brightest point is full

But every telescope you see, was pointed only at you

And I've got nowhere to go except further below

So I keep digging

And it gets darker everyday

But I see no other way than just committing

And if the earth is as round as they say

Then I won't find another place

From where I break back through

It's farther away from you

It's farther away from you

So what am I supposed to do?

I'm calling out to you

But you're miles away, it's true

Digging with someone new

So what am I supposed to do?

I'm calling out to you

But you're miles away, it's true

Digging with someone new

Digging with someone new

Digging with someone new
