Down


by Johnny Dantonio


Are we so happy
That we're now terrified?
Shushing your worries
Giggle at the change in time

Don't let it fool you
Don't let it bring you
Down
Down to the ground
Our mouths' foolish sounds

Look at our love below
Look at it from afar
Locked at the highest rung
Unable to budge at all

Wings won't help us
Wings just take us
Down
Down to the ground
But gravity's sound…

Now back parallel
Now back side by side
Well, here it is like we've always known
There!

Don't, don't, don't
Don't you dare speak
Don't you date look
Down
Who cares what you said
Eyes straight ahead
