haphazardly tumbling hard
fall right down laugh out loud
all in the scheme of things
we're all looking up growing tall
(it's like pulling one hair)
you are what you are to me
(with wet fingers)
in my eyes you're a star
(petroleum jelly)
you're something I'll never be
(and watch the rain dance)
you're something I'm frightened of
I've got to get clean
the rain will cleanse me
and I've got to wash these filthy hands
because it's all just a futile plan
that'd mean I'd have to believe again
it's like a career to breathe
an existence I can't conceive
emotionless as in slug
in my imagined oblivion
You would swear
(it's as much fun)
that I could walk and talk
(as poking at a nerve)
but I doubt you will ever
(no one wants to fail)
vocabulary test
(but no one wants to work)
is graded on a curve
ever prove enough
(smartest kid is stupid)
(word is never heard)
I doubt you'll ever prove it!
I've got to get clean
the rain will cleanse me
(I doubt you'll ever prove it!)
and I've got to wash these filthy hands
all these thoughts and feelings
are for naught unappealing
so you expect them to dull and fade
still they remain
caught
waiting for the
rain
time devours life
with my soul as the defendant
don't catch me if I fall
I may have jumped
you never know
you don't know me at all
fall right down laugh out loud
all in the scheme of things
we're all looking up growing tall
(it's like pulling one hair)
you are what you are to me
(with wet fingers)
in my eyes you're a star
(petroleum jelly)
you're something I'll never be
(and watch the rain dance)
you're something I'm frightened of
I've got to get clean
the rain will cleanse me
and I've got to wash these filthy hands
because it's all just a futile plan
that'd mean I'd have to believe again
it's like a career to breathe
an existence I can't conceive
emotionless as in slug
in my imagined oblivion
You would swear

(as poking at a nerve)

(no one wants to fail)

I stopped listening to them after J Mann left. He got me to like them with his loud lyrics, something i extremely rarely like. in fact, i think i only like it when he does it lol.
now, someone please re-arrange these lyrics. when u listen to the song, u know who J Mann is (the loud one) & the other guy (forgot his name) is. but when reading these lyrics, it's hard to keep up with the song because i just try to sing J Mann's stuff but the other guy's lyrics is a little distracting to read as it's in the way. Just put J Mann's name & under it, his lyrics so i know where to read. thanks.

Anyway, that's my take on the song.
-Darkness Eternal
"That'd mean i'd have to believe again" - reffering to 12 step programs where the best advice is to find a higher power
"I'ts like a career to breathe" - recovery changes nearly every aspect of life
"An existence i can't conceive" - most heavy users started at a young age, and drugs are all they know. A life without them seems "crazy"
"Emotionless as in slug" - people in recovery go through withdraw in which one of the effects numbs emotion
"With my imagined oblivion" - when an addict is sober, memorys from when he was using seem like a dream....or rather oblivion.
With that in mind, perhapse you can discect the rest of the song on your own =P
but it kicks major feckin ass
indeed it does
peace out you all
