Bearing Down - Dave Hause

I’ve been considering oblivion tonight

I’ll squeeze the last few drops of the bruised dark fruit

And pretend that I just might

Might get the viking funeral

Might OD on the lawn

Might end up immortal like an old soul song

It’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

Hunter Thomson was right it’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

Robin Williams was right it’s bearing down

It always seemed kinda comical just to go

When the crumbs of youthful pleasures

Go stale and give way to the undertow

Thought the Golden Gate would be beautiful

Hate the height, but it’s a helluva view

Swan dive leave it all behind

But now there’s you

It’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

I can’t leave you here alone with it bearing down

It’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

I can’t leave you here alone with it bearing down

I see you shining in the sun again and I know

For the first time in forever I’m certain that I can’t go

You’re the one I want to wither with

I want to see you when you’re old

And be the one to keep you warm when the world turns cold

It’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

Hallelujah we’re alive and it’s bearing down

I know it’s bearing down

It’s bearing down

Hallelujah we’re alive and it’s bearing down
