One Degree Down
No sense in admitting I'm weary from the wait,
No sense in pretending that I'm pressing on the gate.
No power in a promise, when I can't find the cause,
All it takes are a few mistakes, so how can I be sure?
What if I fall? Wonder who's next?
What if my foundation was to fall out of context?
No power in the process that leaves me in the dark,
So I'll just go with what I know, it's ridding on my heart.
The bullets made in the day?
I'm gonna find my way soon,
Show me a place in the sun,
Cause somewhere on the journey
Is the strength to go on,
So let the dark fate show me
A way in the clouds,
Cause every day I'm waiting
Brings me one degree down.
No shame in admitting I feel a little scarred,
No sense in pretending that I know bvefore I'm there,
No power in a promise with no authority,
All it takes are a few mistakes before I'm lost at sea.
The bullets made in the day?
I'm gonna find my way soon,
Show me a place in the sun,
Cause somewhere on the journey
Is the strength to go on,
So let the dark fate show me
A way in the clouds,
Cause every day I'm waiting
Brings me one degree down.
I feel it's safe to mention,
Bleeding in my heart: the destination,
Like rules, devour my patience,
All the time I waited at the station.
I don't wanna break the sky,
I'm not gonna come back down.
I don't wanna lose my mind,
I'm too far gone to turn back now.
I can't afford the feelings,
Maybe all the signs can be misleading,
With all my senses reeling,
When I saw my dreams all hit the ceiling.
I don't wanna break the sky,
I'm not gonna come back down.
I don't wanna lose my mind,
I'm too far gone
To come back down!
Can't come back down!
No need for reflecting on why it took so long,
No need for rejecting this road I'm walking on,
No point remenising on things I can't prepare,
All it takes a few good breaks and suddenly I'm there.
The bullets made in the day?
I'm gonna find my way soon,
Show me a place in the sun,
Cause somewhere on the journey
Is the strength to go on,
So let the dark fate show me
A way in the clouds,
Cause every day I'm waiting
Brings me one degree down.
