Down

[Verse 1]
String the words together
Decorate the silence
Wrap them like a tourniquet around me
The flood, it could be violent

[Pre-Chorus]
Leaving you defenseless with no memory, with no skin
Stripped down to your senses, yeah, your rope is wearing thin
And bound to snap

[Chorus]
Taking you down
Taking you down

[Verse 2]
Eloquent as always
Tell me when you're done
Wanna see you disassembled
I wanna see what makes you run

[Pre-Chorus]
Your gentle anesthesia turns the burning white to gray
Gеntle as the breeze that keeps thе urgency at bay
You hover in one place

[Chorus]
Taking you down
Taking you down
Taking you down
Taking you down

[Verse 3]
Pressed against the window
Splitting at the seams
You say, you say that it's all in the eyes, but
Now show me what you mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Seven thoughts combine and then they all fuse into one
Rendering you speechless as the hinges come undone
It's vivid as the cool, clear water passing through my lips
And shaky as the branch that keeps you perched above all this
It's got to give

[Chorus]
Taking you down
Taking you down
Taking you down
Taking you down
