I know I don't have the body that you wanted But I have a body dammit But you're probably thinkin' the same thing about me I'll be without words for a few nights Sometimes when I get drunk I'm quietly Deconstructing myself I don't alwasy reconstruct quite right Down Down, I'm just Sometimes I make up truths about myself That were never true until I agreed With myself that they were They aren't all good I get drunk and I write 'Cause it's a good way of making myself a little less Ambiguous I know that I'm half the writer that he is Down Down, I'm just If you'd like we can get stoned I've never been but I'd like to go There's a former version of me I'm willing to smoke him out and see If maybe he has the body that you want Or the mind that I once had before I fucked it up seemingly irreperably From hiding anxiety behind the screen of a "moral decision" Fuck off I'm keeping to myself "Screw off, I'm just trying to help." I'm just down

I'm so tired from all this kicking in my skull And I'm so uninspired and unreliable Why do we do these things? Why do we hurt everything that we love? If violence makes a man I'm just a bad excuse, I'm just a bad excuse whoa Supercede, I have somewhere else to be And I'm distracted by everything you threw at me I don't do well with weight I've only got two hands And I'm stumbling again No it's not a good look I'm just a bad excuse, I'm just a bad excuse whoa I've got this five year plan I'm gonna be a real man I've got this five year plan I'm gonna be a real man You say you say it just how it is I'd say you don't read your audience You say you say it just how it is I'd say you don't read your audience

Harness your flame Harness it close to where your heart used to rest Harness your reigns Harness around my neck so I can't get away 'Cause I will run Run like hell Screaming "Freedom is only a word." Call off your dogs I've nothing to defend, nowhere to lay my head Give is a rest, I'm combing the tree bursts out of my hair You've brought me down Down to hell And I'm screaming "Freedom is only a word." I don't fear the hounds I'm just afraid of being found I don't fear the hounds I'm just afraid of being found

Oh, what I saw Will you see what I saw? Red and gold Brave and bold Country road With country soul Open gate Now you're on your own

In relation to my younger self I fucked right up I'd thought of every avenue to a life I'd love Guess it don't work like that, no it don't work like that at all 'Cause every time I turned left, I didn't turn out right at all (Don't) get ahead of me He's screaming at me Make an enemy Best get ahead of me He's screaming at me Better your enemy Once you're ahead of me Everything will be What you need it to be Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring My teenaged heart gave me teenaged pause and I Wanted more than the sum of my parts and my Teenaged heart let me off with the clause that I'd Do what I could and maybe a little bit (more) More than anything I Could have been more tender With myself, less with everyone else Guess it's not too late for, not too late for that now Jubilation, for everything good's deepening Like a favourite colour that for the first time you're seein' In relation to my current self I'm doing fine Light don't move quite so fast through a diamond, only time (Don't) get ahead of me He's screaming at me Make an enemy Best get ahead of me He's screaming at me Better your enemy Once you're ahead of me Everything will be What you need it to be Get ahead of me You're screaming at me Make an enemy Get ahead of me Everything will be Need it to be Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring My teenaged heart gave me teenaged pause and I Wanted more than the sum of my parts and my Teenaged heart let me off with the clause that I'd Do what I could and maybe a little bit (more) More than anything I Could have been more tender With myself, less with everyone else Guess it's not too late for, not too late for that now
