Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Feb 23, 2015)

Deeper Than the Sea



What can be deeper than the sea,

More intriguing than stars and space,

Simple as can be,

Duller than an empty place,

As innocent as a gentle word,

And guilty like a mean jailbird,

From whence comes most of the things we see,

Which otherwise just wouldn't be.

What can it be, what can it be?

I rule over everything

I lay mountains low

I dethrone all kings

and kingdoms overthrow

I am measured

yet have no substance

I exist but can't be touched

I am everywhere yet I am nothing

you live by my standard day by day

can you find me?

What am I?
