The Descent Lyrics by L.E Cairo

2019

Intro:
This is my descent
Is it madness what I meant
You got the letters that I sent
Pockets full of rent a little more than a dent
You can tell the teller I disappeared through my pen
Yeah I know what I just said
Im my only friend my shadow creepin on the bend
Good thoughts just left me cryin in the end
I wanna try this all again
A couple hearts that need amends
I dont wanna be a husk of what I was thats just pretend
I feel this hollow barrel on my head
Pump my brain full of lead
Wanna be a kid again
Feelin holes in my stomach a gentle chill down my spine
Feelings of release when I die
I needed faith my whole life for this moment in time

Conscious:
This shit is fucking selfish
You gotta think about everybody else
Dont do it
Dont you fucking dare we need you alive
We need you alive

Verse 1:
Im going deeper in the citadel
Craftsman of the villanelle
Hidden in the valley covered up like loreal
I heard the ocean through a shell and I still can't decipher it
I swallowed my pride and converted to devils advocate
Talons forged in rivendelle
I never knew the city well
Dip my pain in caramel
Introverted thoughts within my prison cell
I bet my family got sick from drinking water in that city well
Well
This is my descent to hell
Throw me off the caravel
I can't live another day while spinning on this carousel
Tell my mother im apologetic i lied alot
Tell my father im not who he wanted i cried alot
Call the cops the only body drops is what I got from penny stocks and working nonstop on olly ox and fucking countertops
Fuck the opps and opposition
My former friendships sailed away and made an apparation
This is my volition

Conscious:
Wake up you dont wanna die do you?
Your mother and father would cry through you
You dont wanna die
It would take a miracle

Verse 2:
To make me switch gears I put my spirit in the spiritual
One shot is all I need
Caged bird getting free
Lost souls need to pray as much as hunters need to feed
Im only 25 and yet Ive seen all I can see
Ive sailed the 7 seas
I wear all of my suits and keep my cards up my sleeves
Everybody take heed
Just because you smile dont mean you can't bleed
Depression is a seed
A black flower blooming for destruction of the breed

Verse 3:
The rooms full of elephants
Im doomed to prove entombed with all of my severance
Admire my elegance
Face down inside of the evidence
I use this tool to zoom inside of the sediment
One with the elements
Pray for anyone in the residence

Verse 4:
This situation is delicate
One false move and Ill spit out your medicine
You can give me a list of the benefits its irrelevant
Seismic shifts in my body im bout to level it
Im up on the precipice
I tried to live my life
Ive had enough of it

Conscious:
Now its out of my hands
Blood scattered through the land
Sacrificial lamb
Blood scattered through the land
Sleep paralysis im the catalyst
Wake up
Sleep paralysis im the catalyst
Wake up
Sleep paralysis im the catalyst
Wake up
Sleep paralysis im the catalyst
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
