Bearing Down

I've been considering oblivion tonight

I'll squeeze the last few drops of the bruised, dark fruit

And pretend that I just might

Might get the Viking funeral, might OD on the lawn

Might end up immortal like an old soul song

You know it's bearing down, it's bearing down

Hunter Thompson was right, it's bearing down

Bearing down, it's bearing down

Robin Williams was right, it's bearing down

It always seemed kinda comical just to go

When the crumbs of youthful pleasures go stale

And give way to the undertow

Thought the Golden Gate would be beautiful

Hate the height, but it’s a hell of a view

Swan dive, leave it all behind, but now there's you

And it's bearing down, it's bearing down

I can't leave you here alone, it's bearing down

It's bearing down, it's bearing down

I can't leave you here alone with it bearing down

I see you shining in the Sun again and I know

For the first time in forever, I'm certain that I can't go

You're the one I want to wither with

I want to see you when you're old

And be the one to keep you warm

When the world turns cold

It's bearing down, it's bearing down

Hallelujah, we're alive, it's bearing down

I know it's bearing down, it's bearing down

Hallelujah, we're alive, it's bearing down
