Dig Deep

from Hope and Fear by Englewood

/

lyrics

Staring out the window I see
Details that I've never seen before.
Never really noticed all the
Life going on right outside my door.
I used to drive right past it to go far away,
Leave my own backyard for a different place.

Walking through these streets I see
Places that I've never seen before.
Finding hidden by-ways between
Houses make me want to search out more.
Layers beneath layers of what's been and gone,
Ghosts of long-dead players of now-silent song.
Dig deep...

In this deeply unsettling, quietest of times,
When our thoughts are so dissonant that no sound
Ever rhymes,
When it's hard to find stillness, even sitting still,
When it's hard to move forward, or to find the will,
Dig deep into your place, into your space, into your mind.

Sitting in my quiet I seek
Peace that I never sought before.
Watching my horizon I seek
Stillness like I've never stilled before.
Quieting my thoughts to a slower pace,
Looking ever deeper in a smaller space,
Dig deep...

In this deeply unsettling, quietest of times,
When our thoughts are so dissonant that no sound
Ever rhymes,
When it's hard to find stillness, even sitting still,
When it's hard to move forward, or to find the will,
Dig deep into your place, into your space, into your mind.
