Descent Upon the Rise (song)

[Underground_Network]

With every step I make
Up the staircase to the suite
I get closer to the top
And as I refuse to stop
Right above my eyes I see
My goal is just out of my reach,
I can almost grasp and feel
What I really hope is real.

But just like that a stair collapses,
The railing unfastens, I've learned my lesson,
Falling, falling, there's no calling
Out to someone who will save me now,
I've lost what I had thought
Would be the life I'd won.

This descent upon the rise
Was perfection in disguise,
I climbed and climbed and climbed,
Just to slip and lose my mind,
I guess I'm out of time, this descent upon the rise.

Descent upon the rise
Is falling back down and I
Can't tell you what that's like,
But descent upon the rise
Is what it takes to survive.

This descent upon the rise
Was perfection in disguise,
I climbed and climbed and climbed,
Just to slip and lose my mind,
I guess I'm out of time, this descent upon the rise.

Wrestling with time,
There's no words left to rhyme,
I tried and tried and tried,
The stairs were laden gold,
But now they're faded, I'm sedated,
Lost in a haze of anger, frustration.

This descent upon the rise
Was perfection in disguise,
I climbed and climbed and climbed,
Just to slip and lose my mind,
I guess I'm out of time, this descent upon the rise.

Descent upon the rise
Is falling back down and I
Can't tell you what that's like,
But descent upon the rise
Is what it takes to survive.

This descent upon the rise
Was perfection in disguise,
I climbed and climbed and climbed,
Just to slip and lose my mind,
I guess I'm out of time, this descent upon the rise.

Descent upon the rise
Is falling back down and I
Can't tell you what that's like,
But descent upon the rise
Is what it takes to survive.
