"Go Down"

Our story started simple, we were just two boys in love
Beaten down by brutal pasts, we tried to rise above
For a while we were happy, or at least it sometimes seemed
But beneath our blissful surface something darker always gleamed
Soon we started fighting, soon the atmosphere turned cruel
I played the psycho sadist to your nobly-suffering fool
I was down to slug it out but you grew so set on running
Ever since I've been inflamed, for you I have been gunning

Even in my fury I was hoping to connect
I thought were were in process but you swore that we were wrecked
Your hopelessness was scalding + I took it so to heart
As time went by I grew more bold in tearing you apart
With me the anger's open but with you it's so unwitting
You just tune out, don't think of me, but hate you're still transmitting
You abandon + ignore me, yeah, so passively you goad
At last I cannot take it + I utterly explode

I try to speak so softly, try to sheath my big-ass stick
But gentle just don't work on you, you're way too fucking sick
I stay peaceful, kind + patient 'til I'm gasping, 'bout to drown
Well if war is what you're wanting, man, you're gonna go down
You wise up for brief moments, but the changes don't last long
Well I can't wait forever, ain't nobody who's that strong
I'm done with your manic grinning while I hold the tragic frown
Yeah if war is what you're wanting, man, you're gonna go down

Our family + our friends all wish we'd leave each other be
Threatened by the power of our heat + chemistry
But you helped me get to singing while I lifted your designs
Magic always happens when our energy combines
Together we are artists, but alone we're bitter messes
Me writing shitty songs while you are sewing ugly dresses
Still we'd rather fail apart than to let up on our pride
Lonely days + lonely nights, so rarely side by side

Even in my sorrow I'm still hoping to get through
Can't you tell, oh don't you know, my songs are all for you
If you'd hear a hit I guess so far I've always missed
No matter my best tries you still forget that I exist
It tortures me to feel so used, exploited then erased
And yet you're always baffled when I leave you all defaced
I never want to slash you on a sick bloodletting spree
But it's the only way to let you know just what you do to me

The aftermath it scares me, yeah it frightens me to death
My skin it crawls with misery, I can barely take a breath
I know you're self-destructive, from the bridge you long to fly
I'm hostage to the part of you that always wants to die
I hope you find some peace of mind, then find your way to me
For now I'm burned + just like you I'm turning off to flee
That it's come to this gives me no joy, just guilt + shame
Still, what you do is up to you, I will not take the blame
