The Ascent

Higher, higher
Praise the light, bring the light
Off the top
The above
Put it somewhere
You'll be higher, higher
Praise the light, bring the light
Off the top
Lose enough
And you'll be damned like I had been

Swimming in the sea
Hypothermic mind
Goin' nowhere
Put me on a leash my babe
So I won't drift away
Walked in the abyss and I was 'boutta drown
Wanderin' and hoped I got found
Traced a line into the sedimental ground
Washed out, I got confounded
I kept treadin' higher
'Till I reached the mire
To escape the fire
Realised I had to go

Higher, higher
Praise the light, bring the light
Off the top
Lose enough
And you'll be damned like I had been

Time is unchangeable
Never at rest
And my death's inescapable
I must admit
My heart's numb on the daily now
I'll be remissed if
My ignorance
Clearin' my end
Will be engendered as long as I stand

Swimming in the sea
Hypothermic mind
Goin' nowhere
Put me on a leash my babe
So I won't drift away

Higher, higher
Praise the light, bring the light
Off the top
The above
Put it somewhere
You'll be higher, higher
Praise the light, bring the light
Off the top
Lose enough
And you'll be damned like I had been
