  • Downhill from the prison
    Downhill from the mall
    Downhill from the factory farm and the hospital
    Downhill from the border wall

    Downhill from the high school
    Downhill from the gym
    Downhill from the church and the stadium
    Downhill from the baby's room

    Downhill from the office
    Downhill from the bar
    Downhill from the theme park and the family car
    Downhill from happy hour

    Downhill from everywhere
    Downhill from all you see
    The ocean is downhill from gravity
    Downhill from here
    Downhill from everywhere
    Downhill from all of humanity

    Downhill from the silver screen
    Downhill from the end of the scene

    Downhill from the vineyard
    Downhill from the mine
    Downhill from the fruity plain and the bottom line
    Downhill from Columbine

    Downhill from the racetrack
    Downhill from the news
    Downhill from the sponsors and the camera crews
    Downhill from the pain to lose

    Downhill from God's golden shore
    Downhill from the grocery store
    Downhill from the center floor
    K Street, and the never-ending war

    Downhill from everywhere
    Downhill from all you see
    The ocean is the last stop for gravity
    Downhill from here
    Downhill from everywhere
    And all mankind's ambition and vanity

    Do you think of the ocean as yours?
    Because you need the ocean to breathe
    Every second breath you take
    Is coming from the sea
    We don't really know
    'Cause we don't really see
    Do you think of the ocean as yours?
    Do you think about it at all?

    Downhill from the campus
    Downhill from the loan
    Downhill from the funeral home

    Downhill from the laptop
    Downhill from the troll
    Downhill from the Russian doll

    Downhill from the N.R.A
    Downhill from the G.O.P
    Downhill from the I.C.E
    And you hide all the messes trying to be free
