Gone Down

I’m gone down on my misery
I’m gone down on the old ennui
Oh girl, you laugh
But it’s taken over me
I’m gone down on monotony
I’m gone down on my apathy
Sweet girl, that smile
It’s the only light that I still see

Gone on the turbulent tide
Gone with our ephemeral time
Gone into a withering blue
I’m going, going, gone
Down on you

Though I’m bound to a purity
I’m unwound by your certainty
So sure you know
I wish I had your clarity
Coming round to your therapy
I could drown in the remedy
The key you turn
You’re unlocking me from an eternity

Gone on the turbulent tide
Gone with our ephemeral time
Gone into a withering blue
I’m going, going, gone
Down on you

See how position
Implies dominion
Don’t confuse this
For your command
It’s my elective
Not my submission
Whether I kneel
Or make my stand
