Down and Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Eight straight days living off cold pizza Flat brand name cola like discount anesthesia I can hardly stand up straight You wonder how Thanks for the concern, but I'll stick to the floor now The TV is for sound It's quiet when I'm down Well come back anytime if you can stomach me I know you need the cash And I need the company [Pre-Chorus] Oh I'll try to power through Since you're not coming back I see the worst of myself in you I think you should work on that [Chorus] I get what I deserve And I reap what I sow If I have to go alone, then I won't go Everyone else is gone And left me on the brink And I don't think I care, 'cause I don't think Oh your conscience has chained you to the floor Now you're stuck with me staring at the door Oh don't try and get me help And don't try to leave town 'Cause I'm not down and out No I'm just down, oh [Verse 2] Eight straight days sinking deeper in my couch Dead dried out house plants Now beginning to slouch There are ghosts inside my head Haunting and complaining Just like poltergeist But far less entertaining This music is too loud Your friends don't want me around I won't come back if you want to be free I need the support but you don't need me [Pre-Chorus] I'll bury myself in basement And I'll claim defeat 'Cause I'm ready for a break And cellar doors never sounded so sweet But I'll try to power through Since I'm not coming back I need a break, a beat to think The more I try the more I sink [Chorus] I get what I deserve And I reap what I sow If I have to go alone, then I won't go Everyone else is gone And left me on the brink And I don't think I care, 'cause I don't think Oh, your conscience has chained you to the floor Now you're stuck with me staring at the door Oh don't try and get me help And don't try to leave town 'Cause I'm not down and out No I'm just down, oh [Outro] I get what I deserve And I reap what I sow If I have to go alone, then I won't go Everyone else is gone And left me on the brink And I don't think I care, 'cause I don't think Oh your conscience has chained you to the floor Now you're stuck with me staring at the door Oh don't try and get me help And don't try to leave town 'Cause I'm not down and out No I'm just down No I'm just down
