DOWN Lyrics

Won't you tell me how you're feelin'?

I hear you're feelin' pretty low

It doesn't help to keep it all to yourself, you know

In this house we keep no secrets

There's no secrets to be known

'Cause this house isn't just a house, it's a home

And you're falling down

Falling down for nothing

'Cause you've been looking down

Well heaven knows what I've been seekin'

Seems like the trail's going cold

It's a sign of the times, I suppose

And all these dreams that I've been keepin'

Have kept me blind to what I hold

And kept me blind to this fortunate life, and it shows

Whoa, yeah

I'm falling down

Falling down for nothing

'Cause I've been looking down

Looking down on everything

And everyone

Falling down

'Cause I've been looking down on everything

Yeah

I know you think you're helping

But don't tell me how I feel

'Cause to you it's all delusion

But to me, it's all so real

It's been prowling at the doorway

A Satan in the wait

And the second I let my guard

It begins to infiltrate

Turning pain into compulsion

Turning sadness into rage

Making useless all my discipline

Until my body is a cage

And I'm helpless to the havoc

I feel it ripping me apart

Devastation as the devil dances

To the beating of my heart

And the void it leaves inside me

Is so perfectly designed

That when I look into myself

There's nothing there for me to find

No more love, no motivation

No more joy, or even fear

And every night I ask myself

Hey, why the hell am I still here?

Just get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out!

It's just a bit of blood

Hey, what the hell was I so worried about?

Just get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out!

Let it wash away the anger

With the last of all my doubts

And if I stand before the Lord my God

At the tolling of the bell

Would He welcome me into his arms

Or throw me down to Hell?

If I sing a hallelujah

As I watch the world go grey

Would He punish me for acting out

When He made me this way?

Well I don't care, I don't care!

I just want to go away

And I've been saying this would happen

In a million different ways

But you don't give a fuck about me

No, you never did at all

So don't pretend you always had my back

Now my back's against the wall

I'm falling down

Falling down for nothing

I'm falling
