What Goes Up

(альбом: Zzyzx Road - 2013)

What goes up, must come down
When this life goes round and round and round
It's all about the race to the top
I'm just waiting on the day when it's not
Sometimes high, sometimes low
Everyone's tryna find a place to go
When it's all about the fight to the finish
I'm just tryna go back to the beginning

I've got a mind that only starts when I stop
And a knack for jumping right off the top
And hopping to another hole worse than before
[?] to try to fix
Let's kickstart my soul
Tryna find the answer in the form of fists
Some look to drugs, others a crucifix
I'm looking for the star when the light stops
Like things might get better when things might not
I'm tryna plan my escape and hate
That I will hate all the decisions that I make
And laid a foundation that's so about to break
That it's better if I just turn back and walk away
And why stop even if the world is saying to
The shit I tell myself has got me stuck afraid to move
If you got an answer for me let me know
And I'll be sitting right here waiting for my wings to grow

What goes up, must come down
When this life goes round and round and round
It's all about the race to the top
I'm just waiting on the day when it's not
Sometimes high, sometimes low
Everyone's tryna find a place to go
When it's all about the fight to the finish
I'm just tryna go back to the beginning

We spend money hoping life is gonna make sense
And keep praying this job is gonna pay rent
I'm tryna figure out how to know if you're making it
With no degree and no frame to hang one in
I'm barely hanging in the moment now
I'm either in the past thinking "why" or in the future thinking "how"
Sweet silence, push so we can push back
And I'ma throw my whole life into this knapsack
We're past that, I could run but wouldn't make it far
So do me a favor, meet me at the nearest bar
We could talk about the good bad and in between
The words said and the feelings that we really mean
Like everything is just a fight to prove
What's the point of getting in the ring if you're destined to lose
I'ma just keep walking on this path alone
And if these wounds do grow I'm never coming home

What goes up, must come down
When this life goes round and round and round
It's all about the race to the top
I'm just waiting on the day when it's not
Sometimes high, sometimes low
Everyone's tryna find a place to go
When it's all about the fight to the finish
I'm just tryna go back to the beginning
What goes up, must come down
When this life goes round and round and round
It's all about the race to the top
I'm just waiting on the day when it's not
Sometimes high, sometimes low
Everyone's tryna find a place to go
When it's all about the fight to the finish
I'm just tryna go back to the beginning
