ellie minibot - don't look down lyrics

you were still a kid when the hurricane came
the crumpled up sky and the hollering rain
the brook turned black in the screeching wind
swelled like she’d pulled the whole world in
you’d seen the creek before shining pretty in the summer
now she boils and crashes full of dark poison water

and like a taunt she dares you
to reach inside yourself for the hungry thing that scares you

oh god get back and don’t look down
in the river there’s a hunger that’s devouring the town
dragging everything she treasures deep inside of herself til it drowns
oh god get back and don’t look down

ten years along, you’ve been gracious, you’ve been driven
you’ve been whittling away at the body you were given
staying quieter than silence and hungrier than sin
chewing up your lips to keep all your poison in
and you’re sick to death of fighting with the thing you saw
the day the creek rose up and you watched the sky fall
you’ve been smiling like the sunshine just as long as you remember
but there are clouds on the horizon and they’re rising with your temper

oh god get back and don’t look down
do you root for the river instead of the town
your ties are coming undone, your heart unbound
oh god get back and don’t look down
one of these days you’re gonna rise up like the river
over everything you treasure and everything you ever did
lay your claim, make the streets your own
fold it all into you til you’re heaving and alone

oh god get back and don’t look down
you’re the river, you’re the storm and it’s too late to stop you now
the seas will swallow the sun, the world will bow
oh god get back or you will drown

oh god get back and don’t look down
oh god get back
