Losing Altitude
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've seen it in your eyes
Disappointment and distaste
The reoccuring patterns
Countless hours gone to waste
I've watched you change your balance
But the formula repeats
Haunting voices calling you
To walk along their dead end streets
They need to hear the words from you
They want to know this to be true
So cut deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude
Like an offering to burn
They lay there burdened down
The bitterness of blood and tears
Dig deep into the ground
(Deep into the ground)
Where root shoots right beneath
An ancient mountain tree
The acrid smoulder of a sacrifice
Embrace you like a hazy bay
They need to hear the words from you
They want to know this to be true
Cut deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude
Deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude
(Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude)
