Long Way Down
Oh here you are There's nothing left to say You're not supposed to be that way And anything you want There's nothing I could say Touch me now and I don't care When you take me I'm not there Almost human but I'll never be the same
Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own Long way down I don't wanna live in here alone Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own
Did they push you down Did they throw you away You're not supposed to be that way And anything you want Theres' nothing I could say Is there anything to feel Is it pain that makes you real Cut me off before it kills me
Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own Long way down I don't wanna live in here alone Long was down I don't think I'll make it on my own
I never pushed you down I never threw you away Take another piece of me Give my mnd a new diease And the black and white world never fades to gray
Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own Long way down I don't wanna live in here alone Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own On my own On my own
Burnin' Up
Said you're burning up inside No one seems to tell You're living from a personalized Manual from hell
Life is pretty easy When it's from my easy chair And you're burnin' up inside And no one cares
Said you had enough this time Cause time don't treat you well You always cried coincidence While I drew parallel
And life it seems so easy When it's from my easy chait And you're burnin' up inside Burnin' up inside Burnin' up inside and you hurt me
Try to take my hand tonight I'll show you where to start Cause every word that left your lips Is like a needle through my heart
And life it seems so easy When it's from my easy chair And you're burnin' up inside Burnin' up inside Burnin' up inside and you hurt my eyes (Cause you're burnin' up inside) Hurt my eyes (Cause you're burnin' up inside) Hurt my eyes (Cause you're burnin' up inside)
Naked
Yeah I'm fading And I call out No one hears me Never been never felt never thought I'd say a word
Weighed down Safe now
You're naked inside your fear You can't take back all those years The shots in the dark from empty guns Are never heard by anyone Never heard by anyone
Yeah I'm hiding In the fallout Now I'm wasted They don't need me don't want me don't hear a word I say
Weighed down Safe now
You're naked inside your fear You can't take back all those years Shots in the dark form empty guns Are never heard by anyone Never heard by anyone
Inside your head No one's there And I don't think I'll ever be And I don't care
You're naked inside your fear You can't take back all those years Shots in the dark from empty guns Are never heard by anyone Never heard by anyone By anyone By anyone
Flat Top
Flat top intervention Bringin' home the new invention See it there in pieces on the ground A television war between the cynics and the saints Flip the dial and that's whose side you'r on Sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing Look at all the washed out hippie dreams
And it's falling all around us Is this some kind of joke theyre trying to pull on us Falling all around us I'll turn my head off for awhile
The tabloid generation's lost Choking on it's fear Used to be that's all we had to fear And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power As long as there's a victim on TV
And it's falling all around us Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us Falling all around us I'll turn my head off for awhile
And my dirty dreams all come alive On my TV screen And assassination plots SHowme what I haven't got Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be Show me everything I need Show it all to me Show it all to me
And it's falling all around us Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us Falling all around us I'll turn my head off for awhile
Impersonality
When I was three feet tall I loved them all And lived life for myself Falling downl for laughs And photographs Some puppets made of felt
Watching life in Oz THanksgiving Eve On Grandma's old tv Dancing roundabout I'd twist and shout for everyone to see
Impersonality It's leanin' hard on me
Mama's in a shop Watching little sister by myself Robbed a wishing pond In a fleeting bond Vowed to share the wealth
Scooping up the coins A warning shot from some authority Doesn't matter now But I'll shout out loud for everyone to see
Never got to know you Did you ever wonder why? Now it's nice to know you And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost Was it really lost at all? Now I'm so proud of you O'd love to tell you all I see Listen hard to your realities
Impersonality It's leaning hard on me
Impersonality it's leaning hard on me
Name
And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away Saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose Tossed along the way Letters that you never meant to send Get lost or thrown away
Now we're grown up orphans I never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame You could hide beside me Maybe for awhile And I won't tell no one your name I won't tell 'em your name
The scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself out there Did you get to be a star And don't it make you sad to knwo that life Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast Now there's nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing On a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name I won't tell 'em your name
I think about you all the time But I don't need to say It's lonely where you are Come back down And I won't tell 'em your name
Only One
I'll open up my head awhile It's been dead for years Must have been a victim of my peers One is for my happiness The other for my health The last is something bigger than myself
I ain't the only one I ain't the only one I ain't the only one to say
I'm talking to myself again I'll just start a fight Nobody can prove me wrong I'm right Anti-gero idol with a suicide excuse A thousand other suckers will try to fill your shoes
I ain't the only one I ain't the only one I ain't the only one to say
I ain't the only one I ain't the only one I ain't the only one to say
Little pictures in my head Are turning inside out again Cuz fucking up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed Because the past is a bully And the future's even worse Now tell me what you fear Cuz I can feel it like a curse
Well you used to be a folk singer Now you're just a joke singer Ain't so smoking sopr singer Swining from a rope singer
I ain't the only one I ain't the only one I ain't the only one to say
