Descent

Caught up in the swirl
The stars laughing
Pavement beneath our feet
Consumes, swallows

Our eyes betray defeat
Cast down in the street
Our hopes once so sincere
Now don’t mean anything

Lock ourselves in
Bring it on
Holding my breath
Our day will come again

No more of this wilderness
Deliver us back
How we once belonged
I hope to pass that way again

Lock ourselves in
Bring it on
Holding my breath
Our day will come again

Come on and let the flood descend
On the air of our last breath
Leave us choking in our beds
Drowning every last protest

And in the wake of our descent
We’ll start it up again
In the wake our descent
We’ll start it up again…
