Descending is a rumored single from Sky’s long-anticipated sophomore album Masochism. She first performed the song at the 2019 Pitchfork Festival after struggling with multiple technical difficulties and has teased studio recordings of it through multiple snippets.
[Intro]
Doubting your obvious words, send back my love
You thought that you could take my hand
Don't expect you to understand 'cause I know
This isn't meant to make you mad
Doubting your obvious words, send back my love
You thought that you could take my hand
Don't expect you to understand 'cause I know
This isn't meant to make you mad
[Verse 1]
They miss the tortured little girl
Bet it's hard to believe it was fun to get you out of my mind
It's true, only fools can play the part
Mine was never a mother's kind of love
I won't protect you again
[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodbye
Cut you out of my life for the last time (So wave goodbye)
All said and done
[Chorus]
The message that I'm sending is all about me
And you're descending
Don't let the silence fool you, it's not about you
And you're descending
Don't mess with my broken little smile
Tell that to my broken bitter heart
You're the one that's crying tonight
[Verse 2]
It's too late to know what your father's done
You refuse to believe it was right to rip you out of my heart
Don't make this harder than it has to be
Well, they say that love is just like lust, beg for mercy
I'll never touch you again
[Pre-Chorus]
Say goodbye
Cut you out of my life for the last time (So wave goodbye)
All said and done
[Chorus]
The message that I'm sending is all about me
And you're descending
I think the silence suits me, it's not about you
And you're descending
Don't mess with my broken little smile
Tell that to my broken bitter heart
Don't mess with my broken little smile
Tell that to my broken bitter heart
I'm the one that's crying tonight
[Bridge]
Turn down while I'm sinking in quicksand
With the master, but I don't care anymore
By the scrape of my teeth
I'm honest about all that I see
But I don't care anymore
[Outro]
Doubting your obvious words, send back my love
I'm giving it to myself
Don't expect you to understand 'cause I know
This isn't meant to make you mad
Doubting your obvious words, send back my love
You thought that you could take my hand
Don't expect you to understand 'cause I know
This isn't meant to make you mad
