Inside Out

See us come, runnin' from nothin'
Through the grave, looking for somethin'
We're not lost, we're just losing
All we used will hold us together.

If you take a road out from under me
If you stare the sun out of the sky
Take a voice back from the ventriloquist
Breathing cigarettes, talkin' in gibberish.

Inside out when you get older
In between and over your shoulder
Hurt some days, givin' me shivers
Throw my soul in a river of mirrors.

For all we know, this is all we need
For all we know, this is all we need
I need air now, I can't breathe
For all we know, this is all we need.

Let the fireworks drown in the gutter
Let the battery-run mill elapse
Yesterday the cloudless samaritan
Cowboy magician with vandalized fiction
I don't care, I don't care anymore
Get these plastic fangs out of my neck
So easy to tune it all out again
Fate is contagious, sleeps on a patient.

Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down, down
The ladder we go.
