(verse 1)
Get down huh? Never wanna get up
Feel the hurt of the cuts like they're earning you love
And the person you are made a person of scars
Perfect to touch when you're hurtin' so hard
Live in the dark and dance to your heart
And drink it up like shots
Poisoned and lost with a rope in knots
And nobody gets all them personal twists
Or the person you is, close your eyes
Alone sometimes when it's filled to the brim
Pills will just build a forcefield to shield you or them
You don't know anymore not at home anymore
So deeper you go with a piece of your soul
On the string of your hope by the skin of your teeth
Thinking suicide is poetry
(chorus)
Get down never wanna get out like clouds
Got a piece of you now and now
Feel alone in the dark like I'll
Make a poem from hearts
And down go deeper and out
Cause us ain't us if we ain't all fucked up
So fuck it all get down
So fuck it all get down now
(verse 2)
Fell in yeah? Got a heavy little load
On some brittle little bones in the middle of the road
Gonna whittle out a path out the bottom of a glass
Like chicken soup for the sad
In the missing loop to make it all fit right
When it feels so good it feels so bad
When it feels so bad it feels like the past
And the past is the last thing to call your own, oh
Lonely road that we call our home, oh
So alone cause we don't want out now
Sad is the house now tear it down
Build a palace of dark from the dirt of the ground
Pull the thorns out fold the pieces of crown
Pull the horns out you're the king of the down
Tangle it up and wear it like armor
If it feels so good then it only gets harder
(chorus)
Brick by brick we all fall down now (repeat 12xs)
