Lyrics

Looking Down

[Verse 1: Sara Taylor]

Unlearning the damage I've knit myself within

To break free of trauma grown beneath my skin

A mangled nail lodged so deep in the wall

A trap door exit from my own downfall

[Chorus: Sara Taylor]

Will I ever get to Heaven

If I can only look down?

A calculated armageddon

Under this burdening crown

[Verse 2: King Yosef]

Fog settles outside a weeping home

The sound of nothing is begging to atone

Time again spent learning to make the way

The bonds I held so closely, leading me away

Inherit their pain just to see them as weak

It's looming over me, and over me until it's hard to speak

Battle to the end, to never see the peak

See the apathy grow when they struggle to their feet

[Chorus: Sara Taylor]

Will I ever get to Heaven

If I can only look down?

A calculated armageddon

Under this burdening crown

[Verse 3: King Yosef]

Circumstance makes no amends

Just a hungry animal, trying to fend

Too stuck in the muck to see it out

Your shortest chain, snagged on doubt

[Bridge: Sara Taylor]

Broken teeth yet I am smiling bright

I can't retreat from my endless fight

[Chorus: Sara Taylor]

Will I ever get to Heaven

If I can only look down?

A calculated armageddon

Under this burdening crown

Will I ever get to Heaven

If I can only look down?

A calculated armageddon

Under this burdening crown
