Only after performing/recording this entire thing, lyrics and all, did it dawn on me: my brother, who wrote it, was facing losing the business around him.

This has been a favourite of mine from my brother for quite some time. I stripped it to near nothingness. I was relieved to find it still had life and meaning.
Lyrics
The further down you go
the more you know
it's gonna be a long night
the more you play it safe
the harder it is to erase
can people stay this tight?
I did not sign up for this
I don't think that I'll miss these waves
This ship is sinking
But I'm not moving
Guess I'll be going down
Yes I'll be going down
The longer you wait
The more people hate
Someone who does nothing
The thinner the air
The more I should care
Can I make you feel loving?
The warmer it gets
The more people bet
Their future on nothing
The higher the jump
The bigger the bump
When you come down on something
