Don't Look Down Songtext
von NOMARKMORE

Yeah found a hole on Maple Street
Perfect circle cold as grief
Looked like God erased a spot
And left the glitch for us to see

I′m standin' there like Bro you see that
Dude with groceries shrugs Aight and
Lady joggin′ by just checks her watch
Steps around it like a puddle man

I'm twitchin' sweatin′ callin′ 911
Dispatcher bored like Sir is it armed
It's a HOLE Okay then chill
I swear she yawned before she hung up the call

World stay normal
I stay broken
And that hole just sits there
Like it′s hopin'


Don′t look down don't look down
But I do every damn time
Don′t lean in don't lean in
But it pulls on my spine
Everyone walks by like it ain't nothin′ at all
But my whole brain falls
Into that crawl
Don′t look down don't look down
But I do
Every time

Next night I′m back yeah couldn't sleep
Brought a flashlight apple keys
Dropped the apple gone No bounce
Just vanished like it forgot to exist

Dropped my watch dude I swear on God
At 3 AM I heard it tick inside my skull
Like it fell forever but fell toward me
Like the hole remembered what it stole

I told my neighbor Steve
This man just burps Huh Wild
Then goes back in to microwave
His sad-ass frozen Salisbury steak

Maybe I′m crazy
Maybe they are
Maybe the hole ain't empty
Maybe it′s a scar


Don't look down don't look down
But my neck keeps bendin′
Don′t lean in don't lean in
Feels like gravity′s trendin'
Folks walk by like it′s part of the street
But it whispers my name
In a voice that's sweet
Don′t look down don't look down
But I sink
Every night

I dream of fallin' sideways
Not down
Of hearin′ people cheer
When I′m not around
I wake up with dust on my face
Same color as the hole

This morning it felt bigger
Not wider just closer
Like it crawled a little while I slept
And parked itself beside my door

I laughed so hard I almost puked
That kind of laugh you give at funerals
And I swear
For the first time ever
I felt peace

Like maybe the hole
Is the only thing
That actually sees me

Don't look down don′t look down
But I'm tired of runnin′
Don't lean in don′t lean in
But the pull keeps hummin'
Been waitin' for someone
Been waitin′ for proof
Guess the world don′t care
But the hole told the truth

Don't look down don′t look down
I do
One last time

And I step inside like I finally belong
