Coming Down

from Like Fries Love Ketchup by Manko

about

Sometimes your life falls apart.

lyrics

It's not what you expected, is it
It's not pretty but it's almost exquisite
Like the howl of a hungry child accusing god
These are the days it seems
Like years just waiting for the light to turn green
Victims of some universal fraud
(It's called) Coming Down

Yeah, I heard how you went out and hunted
'Til you found everything you ever wanted
Well I've been around long enough to know what comes next
So here's your trophy for first place
You won your one-man downhill race
Rolling down Everest to rust with the rest of us wrecks
Yeah, you're getting pretty good at it:
Coming Down

And here is a man with more fists than hands
More needs than fears
A black belt in chastity and an allergy to tears
But everything that we become becomes debris
Ms. Perfect got Mr. Wonderful and you got stuck down here with me.

Remind me where it all went wrong
Tell me stories all night long
About what we expected of thirty
When we were seventeen
On second thought, just let me sleep
And fall and fall into the deep
Wake me up when you see the light turn green.

Do you really want to know my deepest fear?
Will the preserver persevere?
Answer this question for me, dear:
Will the preserver persevere?
Or is everything just
Coming Down

Coming Down is the hardest part
Coming Down is the greatest art
Coming Down is much harder than
Falling back up again...
