The Big Come Down (Beside You In Time)

Lyrics
There is a game I play Try to make myself okay Try so hard to make the pieces all fit Smash it apart Just for the fuck of it Bye bye oooh Got to get back to the bottom Bye bye oooh The big come down isn’t that what you wanted? Bye bye oooh Find a place with the failed and forgotten Bye bye oooh Isn’t that really what you wanted now? There is no place I can go there is now way I can hide It feels like it keeps coming from the inside There is a hate that burns within The most desperate place I have ever been Try to get back to where I’m from The closer I get the worse it becomes The closer I get the worse it becomes There is no place I can go there is no place I can hide It feels like it keeps coming from the inside
