Going Under from Crush by Jack The Elbow

Lyrics:

Wait like you’re buried underneath the heavy weight
Of the choices you were too afraid to make
But there’s no paradise to come for those who wait
So pick your feet up before Death comes round to take
Every chance you never had to waste
Oh I can see your road coming to a dead-end
Won’t you please believe me
All I want is to believe in you
Believe me when I say

Pain is a purpose if it pushes you away
From the brokenness that put it in your way
But there’s no ticket out of Hell for those who stay
At the feet of Misery locked in loosened chains
Torch come down and set it all in flames
Oh I can see your feet turned over your head
Won’t you please believe me
All I want is to believe in you
Believe me when I say

There’s no use in going under
Stare into the past
All your wondering will lead you to the brink
Of a disaster maybe all the pain of past
Could be turned into a future that you make
So why wait
Would you leave your life to Fate
Do you feel it coming after you

There’s a purpose underneath that heavy weight
So quit your paralyzed belief that Time won’t take
Every chance you never took to write your name
In the book of losers who won’t play the game
Scrape to climb the mountainside but

There’s no use you’re going under
Staring down the path
All your wandering will lead you to a grave
Cause it’s a disaster out there
Bracing for a crash
Are you thinking maybe this was a mistake
Well it’s too late
Wouldn’t leave your life to Fate
Do you feel the pain
As you’re coming to the end

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end
What can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under
I love those who do not know how to live except by going under
I love those who do not first seek behind the stars for a reason to go under
I love him who lives to know and wants to know thus he wants to go under
I love him who loves his virtue for his virtue is the will to go under and an arrow of longing
I love him who does not hold back one drop of spirit for himself
Thus he strides over the bridge as spirit

It’s all over now
It’s all over now
Is it all over now
Are you sleeping again
You’re sleeping
You’re dreaming

Wake up
Get up
Won’t you take up
Control of yourself
Find a way

Nobody lasts forever
Stare into the past
Were you thinking maybe this was a mistake
Well it’s a disaster back there
Shaking off the ash
All I want to do is see you take your place
So don’t wait
You won’t leave your life to Fate
When you feel the pain
You will be alive again
