Slip

Hello, how are you?
Do you feel alright?
You're sinking straight to the bottom
You're losing all your light
You shot an angel and you hoped that it wouldn't know
But it shot back so down and down,
and down and down, and down and down, we go

I'll wait impatiently, like they always do (like they always do)
Down here, where the demons pray at night
Saying everything's alright
And hoping to God that you...
That you don't (that you don't)...
That you don't find a way to climb back to the top
When the bottom's never really what you thought

At times like these it's hard to speak
But it's so hysteric, I'm choked up but I could carry it away
Don't hold your breath unless the blame belongs to me

I, I saw you through the window
You put your hands on the glass,
made your plans everlasting by pressing your fingertips
So I'm left asking

Hello, how are you when you're all alone?
Is it like throwing on a blindfold and crossing the road?
If not for good,
then for goodness sake could you learn from my mistakes?
Because down and down you'll go
