Downhill

(album: Scenarios: A Short Film By Elephant Kind - 2014)

I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
Fighting for survival (fought for survival)
I'll be coming back, girl (I'm coming back, girl)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)

Wait a minute (stop)
Doesn't feel (quite right)
I took my gun (fight)
Kill 'em all (tonight)
My quality (export)
I don't understand why we fucking (import)
I feel (overqualified)
Kill 'em all (tonight)

I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
Fighting for survival (fought for survival)
I'll be coming back, girl (I'm coming back, girl)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
Fighting for survival (fought for survival)
I'll be coming back, girl (I'm coming back, girl)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)

I do believe in (God)
Don't get me wrong (alright)
I don't like the world but I plan to live
And I don't care as much I used to be

I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
Fighting for survival (fought for survival)
I'll be coming back, girl (I'm coming back, girl)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)

Be in the world, not of it, right
So I live my life like I'm ostracized
But I'm OK with that, I face the fact
Don't face the sand like an ostrich might
Waved goodbye to the man I used to be
Said if you were me you too would leave
So I did and I didn't look back
Or at least I wish I coulda said that
Took a vacay to the same place, the not-so-great space
Laying on my bedroom floor again, floored again
Fan oscillating like it's shaking its head at me
Humming to drown out my incessant pleas for a leg up
Take that leg, son and retrace your steps
Stay content, break evasiveness
And watch the evacuation drills on planes
'Cause they put a lot of time and effort into explaining it
And that's just manners, when you travel bring a fanny pack
And pack a planner, visit Alabama, bumping Country Grammar
Just to have a cool string of words to rhyme
And you might even learn to free your mind, it's perception Downhill could be a ski slope and then downhill would be dope You see, bro, we're strong
Hard to cut down like regrowth

I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
Fighting for survival (fought for survival)
I'll be coming back, girl (I'm coming back, girl)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
Fighting for survival (fought for survival)
I'll be coming back, girl (I'm coming back, girl)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)

I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
I'll be going downhill (I'm going downhill)
