Follow It Down

I will go looking
I won’t get surprised
I will follow it down

Dreamed of headache
And migraine me
I keep following it down

Visions from dead rollercoaster
Thrill seeking, heat seeking
I will follow it down

Nightmares and birthday wishes
Serving its meal in little dishes
Follow it down in love
We will follow it down
Half open today
We will follow it down in love

Half licked by fire
Then cooked in a stove
We still follow it down

Baby, what are you missing
Once you hit the cove
We keep following it down

Listen in a conversation
Hushed in halls of preservation
Scared what we found

Nightmares and birthday wishes
Seven candles, little fishes
Swirling around above
We will number their scales
Half open today
We will follow ‘em down in love

So are you a liquid
Or are you a gas
I keep following it down

And how do I listen
If you answer with [?]
I keep following it down

And a pool is split in two dimensions
Little fish and good intentions
I keep following it down

And I am praying blind in a holy water
Trying to be the wise daughter
I keep following it down

And I’m talking to ferns
Asking for answers to questions you can’t need
I keep following it down

And I’m lighting candles in a chapel taught me
Jesus nobody whispering, we don’t speak that but can you hear me all the same
I keep following it down

Even if it’s just for the night
