Lyrics
The Throwdown Mix
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To be lost in a state of confusion
No sense of direction you can't be found
Far from the truth of the slim and shady youth
But it's all the same, yeah it's all the same to me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you throw down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me
With open arms you embrace abrasive action
You welcome verbal violence your thoughts unsound
You wear the message on your face I'll wipe it off without a trace
'Cause I'm all the rage, yeah I'm all the rage again
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you throw down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me
If you could see that it's all the same to me
I can't believe you can mean those things you say
But the harder I keep running
The harder I keep running
The more you waste my time
Don't look now but your friends are not around
To protect the words they gave you to be just like them
You say the words fuck you and yeah I've got a message to
Hey we're all the same, in a way we're all the same as you
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you're throwing down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me
If you could see that it's all the same to me
I can't believe you can mean those things you say
I can't believe the things you say
But the harder I keep running
The harder I keep running
The more you waste my time
If we can't get along we'll have to find a middle ground
If we can agree that we disagree about the same things we believe to be true
From me to you nothing but messages and paper planes
Members only and memories end in the end the end
If you could see that it's all the same to me
I can't believe you can mean those things you say
But the harder I keep running
The harder I keep running
The more you waste my time
To be lost in a state of confusion
No sense of direction you can't be found
Far from the truth of the slim and shady youth
But it's all the same it's all the same to me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you say when you throw down with me
That's what you say when you're falling down
That's what you get when you throw down with me
