Going Down

Exploitation and oppression pave your road up to the sky
Push and shove, dog-eat-dog, an eye for an eye
And while you vultures keep on fighting for an eyrie in the crown
I'm going down, I'm going down
I don't know if that's attitude or just my fear of heights
When I'm staring at the abyss in one of those dreadful nights
And as there's no risk of falling if you don't attempt to climb
I'm going down, I'm going down

Down to the sewer pipes
Where all the rats reside
Between the garbage piles
I'm going down

I'm attracted to the broken, to the tainted, to the dark
Embracing every failure, every damage, every mark
There is nothing in this world that could hold me on the ground
I'm going down, I'm going down
I don't know why I'm dwelling in this self-inflicted hell
But misery means safety, so I sabotage myself
My road is smoothly paved from the cradle to the grave
I'm going down, I'm going down

Down to the sewer pipes
Where all the rats reside
Between the garbage piles
I'm going down
Down to the sewer pipes
Where all the rats reside
Between the garbage piles
I'm going down

When there's a silver lining and all misgivings are drowned
Out come the rats and they drag me underground

Down to the sewer pipes
Where all the rats reside
Between the garbage piles
I'm going down
Down to the sewer pipes
Where all the rats reside
Between the garbage piles
I'm going down
