and stay deep because it's hard to get to the other side when you can't breathe well. You have to take your time because it's long. Time to think about yourself and the world in a different way when you're sinking.
Start deep and stay deep because when you're in the thick of it, struggling, then you know what's important because pain feels you before you understand it.
Start deep and stay deep because it's about God-smoking a cigarette in an alleyway, seducing a stranger. It's hard to destroy your innocence to build fear. It's hard to destroy your beliefs to build truth. It's hard to destroy beauty and peace for feelings and imperfections. It isn't about church, but you'll see God in a hard way because not everything is easy.
Start deep and stay deep because everything you know is still there but there's more, and it isn't obvious. Complications don't stand out from a distance. It's grown and mature.
Start deep and stay deep because a bunch of meaningless words is just silence. Thoughts are just questions expressing our weaknesses and our strengths, we need it. Without depth we're all just liars, lying to ourselves.
