Still Around (Down)

(album: Pressure Point - 2020)

Woke up in a cold sweat
Head burn, heart beating quick
Had a flashback of an old threat
Hallucinating that I'm seeing shit
Keep going back to that plane ride
Trauma to my psyche, we ascending
Only lasted for a couple seconds
To me it felt like it was never-ending
Looped up to the sound of exhaling can't figure why
My head is inner-spinning 'round 'cause
I thought I saw one of my friends die
I thought I felt all of my nerves fry
Somebody help, please, I think I'm drowning
Digging deeper, thinking no one found me
It's lonely when you climb up on these mountains

And now I'm doubting every step I take and every startle
Every time that morning phone call comes ringing, I begin to lose my marbles
I just want to take in all the marvels
I just wanna live without the fear
On them days you might be feeling partial
Just remember that I'll still be here, yeah

Have you been down?
Are you still down?
You know I'm down
I'm still around
Have you been down? (Down down)
Are you still down? (Down, down)
You know I'm down (Down down)
I'm still around
I'm still, still down

Woke up in a cold den
Head burnt heart beating fast
Dreamt again about an old friend
Talking to me before he had crashed
Lost touch in the years before
I really wish I would've tried harder
Didn't seem like you would leave us though
Sake The Great the true fire starter
Now I'm watching from the sidelines
Yelling at you, but you hear me not
I'm sorry for my part in all of this
I really wish I could've changed the plot
I really wish I could've changed course
But you and I were flying high, apart
Nothing we could really do I guess
But read the lines between the tribal art

Now I'm in the dark, waking up at night and I feel startled
Every time that morning phone call comes ringing, I begin to lose my marbles
I just want to take in all the marvels
I just wanna live without the fear
On them days you looking down on us
Just know that we been wishing you were here, yeah

Have you been down?
Are you still down?
You know I'm down
I'm still around
Have you been down? (Down down)
Are you still down? (Down, down)
You know I'm down (Down down)
I'm still around
I'm still, still down

Well we've not yet to see nature take any species to Nirvana
Um, what's that gonna look like?
Who's it gonna be? Is it gonna happen here?
Could happen somewhere else completely fucking different
These are interesting questions
For me they're interesting questions
They expand my mind
To some kind of place where explanations sound
Reasonable to the grand scheme
And let's not ever forget how grand the scheme of things is

Mr. Miller, it's time

And I hope you've enjoyed your stay at Pressure Point
Godspeed
