falling always gets you when you're closest to the bottom
ha problems we all hide them but you know everyone's got them
we can lie and act so perfect, like there never was a crack
like no one ever talked the smack or put a target on your back
like a stone was never thrown and it never broke a bone
yeah you've never been afraid and you've never been alone
so you can keep on acting brave while you sit up on that throne
but you and I are just the same and i see it so you know

so you know, I can see right through your phony ego
I can see you struggle now, and just how bad you want the needle
I could say though pointing fingers always makes it worse
so you tell me "it's not like that" and I muster up a sure

like sure dude I don't care about your fucking lies
I could go and say it once more, but it would be the millionth time
so maybe that's a stretch, but it always goes like is
it always goes from hug and kiss to closing up my fist
eventually I give into you cause you're always stubborn
as childish as it may seem it's like I'm fighting rubber
you used to be a person with some brightness in your face
but it's like heroin's a girl now and you really fucking love her

so you know, I can see right through your phony ego
I can see you struggle now, and just how bad you want the needle
I could say though pointing fingers always makes it worse
so you tell me "it's not like that" and I muster up a sure

you and I are different but in a way we're still the same
cause if I was you and where you are then you would be like me
tell me man whisper it would you watch me bleed
"yeah i would let you be I would let you fucking breathe"
yeah I'm sure it's easy to say that in your position
but it fricking kills me man I'm wishing that you didn't
and you are missing something I can see that you won't listen
so if you really want it you can go ahead and get it

so you know, I can see right through your phony ego
I can see you struggle now, and just how bad you want the needle
I could say though pointing fingers always makes it worse
so you tell me "it's not like that" and I muster up a sure

it's a slow ride through the clouds let it go by
truthfully it feels a lot better to close your eyes
so that way you don't have to lie while you're passing the signs
working away the day and getting trapped inside the time
it's the box and you're the mime glass walls to hide behind
just a performer in front of an audience where the curtain draws the line
put the pain up on display and then you can go record your cries
then once you see the picture painted tell me if you think it's nice
is it?
