The Descent

We started out sky high, we tried, live up to it all
Bright eyes, found life, lovers by default
Everything always seemed to get better
Endlessly writing each other letters
We yawned, years gone, trying not to fall
Headstrong, ping ponged, family so flawed
Everything always seems to work out right
Until it all comes crashing down one more time

You and I we fly by, tongue tied, victims of the fall
Can't find but confide in each other's faults
Everything never seems to get better
Endlessly broken but tethered together
Stay strong, hang on, but let go of it all
Not long, ok I'm wrong, seeming to just stall
Everything always seems to work out right
Until it all comes crashing down one more time

And now we're going deep again
Back into the dark inside I swear we're fine, ok I lied
But just pretend
This really might be the end
Hold my hand and close your eyes, we have to die just to survive
The descent

Another day slips by, we tried, listen to the call
Can't cry but contrive somehow we're the adults
Everything never seems to get better
Silently spoken but redder than ever
We're wrong, hang on, give up on it all
How long, is this song, waiting for the pause
Everything always seems to work out right
So let's ignore the problem just one more time

And now we're going deep again
Back into the dark inside I swear we're fine, ok I lied
But just pretend
This really might be the end
Hold my hand and close your eyes, we have to die just to survive
The descent

And now we're going deep again
The dark is closing in
I just don't understand
But we can play pretend
And if it's gonna be the end
Will you still hold my hand
Until my fingers bend
As we descend
Somehow we're going deeper than
We could ever comprehend
The rest is just unwritten
Memories we'll make again
But this time we'll transcend
The end is where we'll begin
We already came and went
But live on in the pretend

And now we're going deep again
(And now we're going deep again, the dark is closing in)
Back into the dark inside I swear we're fine, ok I lied
But just pretend
(I just don't understand, but we can play pretend)
This really might be the end
(If it's gonna be the end, will you still hold my hand)
Hold my hand and close your eyes, we have to die just to survive
The descent
(Until my fingers bend, and as we descend)
So let's ignore the problem just one more time

And now we're going deep again
(And now we're going deeper than, we could ever comprehend)
Back into the dark inside I swear we're fine, ok I lied
But just pretend
(The rest is just unwritten, memories we'll make again)
So let's ignore the problem just one more time
This really might be the end
(But this time we'll transcend, the end is where we'll begin)
Hold my hand and close your eyes, we have to die just to survive
The descent
(We already came and went, but live on in the pretend)
So let's ignore the problem just one more time
