Descent Lyrics by ​c0ntrast

2019

[Verse 1]
I've been doubting the validity in beginning any new friendships
With this dwindling ability to keep up any pretenses
Throw in a lifelong deathwish, progressively relentless
Manifesting in self-sabotage of cost-of-living expenses…
It all begs rhetorical questions like, "Why should anyone bother
"With my headtrips when you and your bros could hit the open road?"
Though I appreciate each speck of effort spent filling up my coffers
Know it's in everyone's best interest to let go of the ten-foot pole…
Don't you get how reckless it is to try and rescue a man who's drowning?
I don't know how else to express this, love, just leave me how you found me
Made my deathbed of nails and now it's time for me to lie in it
Never got good at sleeping alone though, forgive the indecisiveness…
It’s not a cry for help, there’s simply no more sense in hiding this
Trainwreck of a life gone by defining what defiance is
A pariah in a Warhol-esque popularity contest
Too honest for my own good, should probably chill with the bomb threats

[Verse 2]
So many toxic thoughts swimming around in my brain like piranhas
Gnashing their teeth at every remaining neuron of love and compassion
So now all emotion stays locked safe away in a wire cage deep in the ocean
Convinced all that hope is a whale of a tale, I refuse to keep on getting roped in
Defusing delusions of beautiful mistress equipped with bolt cutter to rescue
Me from myself, I am captain of ship for better or worse, no one gets through
In belly of beast and evidently, we are heading straight towards eye of storm
Learning the hard way this Trisolar forecast has left me most poorly informed
