  • Deeper down

    It's everywhere I look
    From Las Vegas to right here
    Under your dresser
    Right by you ear
    It's creeping in sweetly
    It's definitely here
    There's nothing more deadly
    Than slow growing fear

    Life was full and fruitful
    And you could a take a real bite
    The juice pouring well over
    Your skin's delight
    But the shadow, it grows
    And takes the depth away
    Leaving broken-down pieces
    To this priceless ballet

    The shallower it grows
    The shallower it grows
    The fainter we go
    Into the fade out line

    The shallower it grows
    The shallower it grows
    The fainter we go
    Into the deeper down

    Did we build all those bridges
    To watch them thin down to dust
    Or blow them voluntarily
    Out of constant trust?
    The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
    And there won't be a party with weathering frocks

    The shallower it grows
    The shallower it grows
    The fainter we go
    Into the fade out line

    The shallower it grows
    The shallower it grows
    The fainter we go
    Into the fade out line

    Heading deep down
    We're sliding without noticing
    Our own decline
    Heading deep down
    We're hanging onto
    Sweet nothings left behind
    Deeper down
    Deeper down
    Deeper down
    Deeper down
    Down, deeper down, yeah

    Did we build all those bridges
    To watch them thin down to dust
    Or blow them voluntarily
    Out of constant trust?
    The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
    And there won't be a party with weathering frocks

    Did we build all those bridges
    To watch them thin down to dust
    Or blow them voluntarily
    Out of constant trust?
    The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
    And there won't be a party with weathering frocks

    The shallower it grows
    The shallower it grows
    The fainter we go
    Into the fade out line

    The shallower it grows
    The shallower it grows
    The fainter we go
    Into the fade out line

    We are all plunging straight towards our own decline
    Without noticing, we slide down
    Deeper down
    The shadow grows without ever slowing down
    We are heading straight
    Into the fade out line (deeper down) Writer/s: Cedric Le Roux, Craig John Walker, Phoebe Tolmer
