Face down
Is where I find myself
Face down
Face down is where I find myself
Stronger than ever
Might snap at any time
Rest your head, it's over
It's over
When my brain is bleeding black
Then I know I'll attack
Any sorrow in me
I'll take your last statement
Ever so lightly
Ever so
Ever so lightly
Well I believe in now
Yes I believe in now
Because the past was ripping my heart out
(Your wasted intelligence in a shrinking town)
It was a rough ride but my mind is wider
Never no more, never touch the
Cheap cider
(Cheap cider)
(Cheap cider)
Total your pain, it's over
It's over
When my brain is bleeding black
Then I know I'll attack
Any sorrow in me
I'll take your last statement
Ever so lightly
Ever so
Ever so lightly
When my brain is bleeding black
Then I know I'll attack
Any sorrow in me
I'll take your last statement
Ever so lightly
Ever so
Ever so lightly
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
What I'm trying to try and say is that I'm trying
(What I'm trying to try and say is that I'm trying)
So don't expect too much because contempt is highering
I didn't ever really jump to reservation
(Chas if I hitched a ride in your train would you tell me to get off?)
I only really ever fell to reservation
And soon we'll all be divided
(Mark if you'd ever be here)
And then we'll care which we hided
[I'd lend you my best ear]
I didn't ever really jump to reservation
(So you could sing to me in Nelb's Punk Rock car)
I only really ever fell to reservation
And soon we'll all be divided
(Jim that time in fuck knows where)
And then we'll care which we hided
[When the bulls chased us were you scared?]
I didn't ever really jump to reservation
(If only Ben's "Old General" had been there)
I only really ever fell to reservation
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
(I'll cherish the Bars quotes)
Who are cheating themselves
(We never ever)
And cheating the floors
(Wro-ote down)
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
[e.g. 'Don't Count Your Horses']
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
(I'll miss this so much)
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
