lyrics

Descend

(And now for something completely different)

You’re trying to meet me at the edge
We’re always trying to play pretend
To go, to feel, to want, to be with you again

You always fantasized intense,
You made believe we could be friends,
The parts, the pain, the love,
We gained again

You always wanted to descend
The mark, the maker, on the mend
To go, to be, to want to be with you again

I’m over the moon with you
Not over the spectacle,
The positive, the penalty,
We’ve got it good, we’ve got the tea

You’re trying to make me play the victim,
You’re trying to make me play the part,
To go, to seize, to love on your knees

There’s never practice in our hearts,
Played the damn fiddle with your doubt,
To run, to smirk, to work all of your tests,

I’m over the moon with you,
Not over the spectacle,
The positive, the penalty,
We’ve got it good, we’ve got the tea
