Coming Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Reaching for the high ground that the simple men have achieved
Sleeping like the children in a world of uncertainty
Strung out on reason, in a cave for so long
Inching towards truth, a thousand times wrong
Running away like a pool of mercury
Blinded by sight, by all that we see

[Chorus]
Down to the ocean
Down to the sea
We'll drink to ourselves, just you and me
Watch the sun come up with tears in our eyes
Making promises, but telling only
Lies
[Verse 2]
Falling through the floorboards that we've met many times before
Losing all the castles that we built in the clouds and more
Love and pain become one and the same
Names turn to numbers and we are all to blame
Cities without souls, there's nowhere left to go
Lies like paradise, so far away

[Chorus] Down to the ocean
Down to the sea
We'll drink to ourselves, just you and me
Watch the sun come up with tears in our eyes
Making promises, but telling only-

[Bridge]
Sunshine, rain down on me
Sunshine, rain down on me
Killed so kindly by the pain we never feel
Poisoned so sweetly by the lies that we conceal
With you, without you, the everyday game
Boiled in oil and burned by the rain

[Chorus]
Down to the ocean
Down to the sea
We'll drink to ourselves, just you and me
Watch the sun come up with tears in our eyes
Making promises, but telling only-
Down to the ocean
Down to the sea
We'll drink to ourselves, just you and me
Watch the sun come up with tears in our eyes
Making promises, but telling only lies
[Outro]
Coming down
(Coming down)
