Ihsahn - Losing Altitude lyrics

I've seen it in your eyes
Disappointment and distaste
The reoccuring patterns
Countless hours gone to waste
I've watched you change your balance
But the formula repeats
Haunting voices calling you
To walk along their dead end streets

They need to hear the words from you
They want to know this to be true

So cut deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude

Like an offering to burn
They lay there burdened down
The bitterness of blood and tears
Dig deep into the ground
(Deep into the ground)
Where root shoots right beneath
An ancient mountain tree
The acrid smoulder of a sacrifice
Embrace you like a hazy bay

They need to hear the words from you
They want to know this to be true

Cut deep deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude deep
Deeper than you've ever did before
No matter what you give they still want more
The dead weight has to go although it hurts
'Cause you're losing altitude

(Losing altitude, Losing altitude)
(Losing altitude, Losing altitude)
