From the recording Torsos and Good Times
Lyrics
Descending
What I showed her
La da da da da da da
So heavy I could barely stand
La da da da da da da
When I told her
It’s all I need to be a man
Still can’t save her
Even when she told me I was right (so right)
I won’t enslave her
I swear it’s not a lie
You telling me, sending
There’s nothing I would rather do for you
You bending me, descending
There’s nothing I would rather do for you
I would rather do
If I fault her
Still I look the other way and say
It’s on my shoulders
Almost every single day
I would rather die tonight
Then see you cry again
I’d rather feel the pain
Of a thousand lies that burn my name
I would rather breath the fire
That lights the way for me and you
To hell and back every day
