When You Fall And You Can't Get Up

Broken minds aren't the same of late
Brand new pieces, all irate
And the kids are afraid they'll meet the same fate
Ain't that sad?

All my negative traits incubate
Into a much more sinister state
Would it be too late to say the good predates
The bad?

When you fall down a hole you couldn't see
And everyone else is saying what's best for me
All I want is some time so I can breathe
While I try to tame this beast
Yeah, I wanted a life so grand
But nobody's there to hold my hand
I didn't think I needed something so bland
But here we are, oh, I don't understand

Aahh, oh,
Aaah, oh

Broken records don't skip the same
And all our demons go by other names
God forbid that we're the one to blame
Ain't you glad?

Self-destructiveness you can't sedate
From the new you you tried to create
And all the arguments just don't translate
Are you bad?

When you fall down a hole you couldn't seal
And the world no longer feels real
All I want is something to reveal
I'm not as awful as I feel
Yeah, I wanted a life that was so unreal
And now it plays before me in a mocking newsreel
Of what I'd've been if I'd kneeled
Instead of believing the future heals

Aah, oh
Aah, oh
x2

When you fall down and you can't get up
And all you can taste is blood and muck
'Cause you drove them all away, tough luck
Now there's no one to catch you when you fall
I wish that one day I will be (Aah, oh)
Someone who says this is a memory (Aah, oh)
Instead of a harsh drain of my energy (Aah, oh)
'Cause that'd prove I'm not the villain after all (Aah, oh)

Aah, oh
Aah, oh
