[Intro]

Down, down

We’ve got to slow it down

Down, down

Slow it down

[Chorus]

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why do none of them care to reply?

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why do none of them care for my cries?

I don’t want to go

But I don’t want to be here anymore

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why can none wipe the tears off my eyes?

[Verse 1]

Down with the fever, down with the flu

Down when the schemers had vowed to renew

Down were the grievers that found love anew

Crown the believers who drowned for the view

A soul “picture perfect”, if you tried to picture “perfect”

Is a role pictured birthless, meaning ultimate purpose

Holding His purpose, He was sure to preserve us

Slow was the service when we owed it as servants

‘Cus being saved is easier than what the service requires

Not weaknesses I’m naming, these are simply an observor’s desires;

Repentance if it’s planned to be done a second time

Remorse that identifies as the regression kind

Praying ‘bout the past without thinking of the present time

Algorithmic promisers who fulfill the second lines

As I ask my mirror to put my fire out

I realize it’s been the one normalizing doubt

[BREAK]

Down, down

We’ve got to slow it down

Down, down

Slow it down

[Chorus]

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why do none of them care to reply?

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why do none of them care for my cries?

I don’t want to go

But I don’t want to be here anymore

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why can none wipe the tears off my eyes?

[Verse 2]

We down to earth, and I’m down with the flow

Dumb it down, ‘cus they can’t understand ya, Joe

Slow it down, Universe, I can’t withstand ya tropes

If you’re mocking me, then how can I stand with hope?

If to you my death’s accepted, how can I expand my scope?

Maybe it’s how death affects us, not being a practised mope

If I face death restless, maybe God will intercept it

And my pen’ll be resurrected, unless the chorus comes unexpecte–

[Chorus]

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why do none of them care to reply?

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why do none of them care for my cries?

I don’t want to go

But I don’t want to be here anymore

If the sky was built one star at a time

Why can none wipe the tears off my eyes?

[Outro]

Down, down

We’ve got to slow it down

Down, down

Slow it down
