The Descent Lyrics - Silver Age - Bob Mould

I started out so starry-eyed 

Full of hope and wonder 

And I wore flowers in my hair 

Not aware I'd been defiled 

(Every time I see you) I know it's going down 

(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around 

I know this ride, you must be there by my side 

You going down, I must be descending 

I didn't want to play the song 

That gave people so much hope 

I turned my back and turned away 

Here's the rope that made me choke 

(Every time I see you) I know it's going down 

(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around 

You can see it in my eyes 

You can read it on my face 

You can hear it as I cry 

God, I hope it's not too late 

Can I try to make it up to you somehow? 

Can I try to make it up to you somehow? 

Now my race is finally run 

And as I tumble to the Sun 

All these dreams I can't achieve 

Brought me crashing to my knees 

My descent has now begun 

All the music left undone 

My world, it is descending
