The Upsend

Every struggle, every fight to get further

All the loss and the cost

Own pressures getting harsher

Never mind the strain, the pain

To claim the gain, to reach the end

The fog clouds my eyes

This place looked better from the outside

I wouldn’t stop till I fucking got to the top

I’m at the top now I might as well just sit and rot

Rip it to pieces as I make my way through

Nothing left to show for this vigor and virtue

Oh, I thought I’d paid my dues

More endless days I’ll look forward to rue

A great omission in the life foretold

I guess not all that glitters is gold

Silence overwhelming

Suffocate, incinerate

Venture unfulfilling

Trying to find the light

(Trying to find the light)

Distaste for the intake

(Distaste for the intake)

Victim to the mistake

(Victim to the mistake)

Caught beneath the weight

I wouldn’t stop till I fucking got to the top

I’m at the top now I might as well just sit and rot

Another day before the way can be repaved

You’ve gotta help me

Or get out of my way

I thought I’d paid my dues

I’m falling further, I’m drowning deeper

Nothing Left to lose

I’m sliding faster, I’m slipping under

Where do I go from here?

Where do I go?

Where do I go when there’s no end?

How do I know when to start again?

Dead end, impend on the upsend

Dead end, condemned to ascend

Dead end, impend on the upsend

Dead end, condemned to ascend

Where do I go from here?

Where do I go?

Where do I go from here?

Where do I?

Nowhere
