"Down" Lyrics

Hiding behind the walls that I've

fashioned here in hindsight, Keeping

up the mask of the lies that have

scarred my life tearing apart

my flesh, for my flesh I feel this killing spree

Now that you've gone and said it

boy, can't you keep from dealing

me, Talking about the other times,

thought that I'd set you free, Saving

the flesh to kill the spirit

Down, Down, finding my way around

Down, Down, turning my life around

All of my life I've tried to

get away from this, Talking

about the way that I can

sabotage my play, Now

I stand here, another

broken life come on boy,

get up or get real

Taking another look

at the reality I've made,

do I get up, to get up, or

do I crumble Learning to face

my fears, with God by my side come

on boy, get up or get down

Trying to keep this failure in my life

to a minimum doing it by myself

and the fear becomes a synonym

Trying to forget the reason for all

this pain come on boy get up or get real

Giving away this Hell that I began

to call my life starting to see an

ending to the frailty of strife

kneeling down fave first before the

cross come on boy get up or get real.
