| Cough, gasp, and sputter,
|
| spinning helplessly down toward the earth.
|
| A loss of control, the sky swallows whole.
|
| Spinning down, down.
|
| Forever falling down, down, down.
|
| But is it entirely a flightless fall?
|
| No deceptive currents, no rise at all?
|
| Maybe it’s too naive to not jump ship
|
| when deviating so drastically from the initial script.
|
| Tremble beneath the weight of inevitability,
|
| and all the casualties therein.
|
| Cower in the shadow of the ever-present sun,
|
| witness eclipsing, eclipsing, eclipsed.
|
| Is it completely void? |
| Or is the truth in shade?
|
| Are all the facts before us a masquerade?
|
| Suffering no deceit, no selfish lies,
|
| we stand in our own crypt and we mobilize,
|
| waking up to blazing heat
|
| and the stench of rancid meat.
|
| Don’t have the patience or the time to repeat mistakes.
|
| Like high, hot hauls, through highway tolls
|
| with bigger brothers for hungry trolls.
|
| Each horn sharpened by eye sockets torn,
|
| standing on the graves of the worn.
|
| Welcome to the place integrity is born.
|
| Heart in the right place, just missing the mark.
|
| Feigning exception is a shot in the dark.
|
| With no remorse and no regret,
|
| is anybody listening yet?
|
| Tremble beneath the weight of inevitability,
|
| And all the casualties therein.
|
| Cower in the shadow of the ever-present sun,
|
| Witness eclipsing, eclipsing, eclipsed.
|
| Bask in uncertainty.
|
| Strange things can happen when faced with adversity.
|
| Ask and you shall receive,
|
| Or swing frantic your arms. |
| Fate is nothing but a nervous belief.
|
| I don’t believe the end is in pavement.
|
| I don’t believe there’s anything beneath.
|
| I don’t believe there’s death in the basement,
|
| No I don’t believe.
|
| No I don’t believe.
|
| Embrace the fall, there is no end.
|
| No ambiguous hypothesis to comprehend.
|
| No bruised and battered egos in descent’s entire ethos.
|
| No magnificent creation myth. |
| No wind to pad the story with.
|
| Only I will never quit, or watch my brothers quit,
|
| But I’ll lower down a lifeboat if you’re abandoning the ship.
|
| «True sailing’s dead,"should have been the first thing said
|
| before the writing could be written, before the writing could be read.
|
| The wreckage was never found,
|
| but the black box was recovered.
|
| The message therein profound.
|
| In our final moments our true names are all discovered.
|
| So let it fall, fall. |
| Even if it turns out to be futile,
|
| at least we couldn’t ask for a sky so clear or a day more beautiful.
|
| They’ll never find the wreckage, transcending all human languages.
|
| Just a promise and a final message:
|
| The descent is all there truly ever is.
|
| Just a promise and a final message: the descent is all there ever is.
|
| Just a promise and a, just a promise and a final message:
|
| The fall is all there ever is.
|
| Just a promise and a final message:
|
| The descent is all there ever is.
|
| Just a promise and a, just a promise and a final message:
|
| The fall is all there ever is.
|
| Stumble beneath the radar, big holes in each great city
|
| is all the evidence I need.
|
| Knowledge often beckons and can lead astray.
|
| Whisper release me, release me, release.
|
| Dive into an endless sea.
|
| No reason to falter no plan supersedes.
|
| Altering frequencies,
|
| But we welcome the change. |
| Fate is nothing but a nervous disease.
|
| Cough, gasp, and sputter,
|
| spinning helplessly down toward the earth.
|
| A loss of control, the sky swallows whole.
|
| Spinning down, down.
|
| Forever falling down, down, down. |
