High Down Below Lyrics by Marty Willson-Piper

Nightjar

2008

All this aching pain
Is it all in vein
You said the coldness came
Down below

And your perfect shield
And the words you wield
From your empty field
Where nothing grows

All of these visions that go through your head
For all of their beauty they'll wind you up dead

That's why you'll find me high
You'll find me high
You'll find me high down below
You'll find me high

You take the veil away
On your knees and pray
You're in disarray
The future's closed

So if you're feeling numb
Oh if you do your sums
You'll see the past has come
And you're exposed

I tried to write a melody that you'd recognize
Just to draw attention to and open up your eyes

That's why you'll find me high
You'll find me high
You'll find me high down below

That's why you'll find me high
You'll find me high
You'll find me high down below
You'll find me high down below

All of these visions that go through your head
For all of their beauty they'll wind you up dead

I tried to write a melody that you'd recognize
Just to draw attention to and open up your eyes

That's why you'll find me high
(That's where you'll find me)
You'll find me high
You'll find me high down below

That's why you'll find me high
(That's where you'll find me)
You'll find me high
You'll find me high down below
You'll find me high
