Tunnel vision is slowly setting in Blocking out what should be letting in, letting in 11 years of seeing through alcoholic eyes Nothing here at all but lows disguised as highs
Days, I don't remember now, fitting in and blacking out Falling up and spiraling down and down and then It's down again and up again I've mellowed but it's taken so much time
Never needed to think that I was thin Anyway, would I wish it on you now? I'm so fucked up Lay down pacified and completely compromised Nothing left inside but memories of lies
Days, I don't remember now of fitting in and falling out Falling up and spiraling down and down and then It's down again but up again I'm sorry but it doesn't matter now
11 years of seeing through alcoholic eyes Nothing here at all but lows disguised as highs
Days, I don't remember now, fitting in and blacking out Falling up and spiraling down and down and then It's down again but up again I've mellowed but it's taken so much time
So much time, so much time, so much time So much time, so much time, so much time So much time, so much time
Heaven on the way down Talk about a prime piece of real estate Heading all the way down Yeah, you know it's falling like an interest rate Jesus calls it even You can have your heart back no questions asked A temporary way out Yeah, heaven's on the way down
Sweet relief Pulling teeth Soldiers spy a tinker, tailor, junkie, thief Holding on It won't be long Heaven's on the way down Thinking that it's over
The tarnished schemes of angels Nothing like a cherub with a dirty face Figure all the angles Brother kill your brother for a parking space Jesus calls it even You can have it all back if you want Yeah, heaven's on the way down Heaven's on the way down
Burn the flag Yeah-burn it black Jackie Earle Haley's comet coming back Soldier on You read me wrong Heaven's on the way down Heaven's on the way down
Sweet relief Falling free I can spot a dumb, sick, junkie, thief Sweetest sound It's coming 'round Heaven's on the way down Heaven's on the way down Thinking that it's over
Eight hours to get to heaven hill Head down, due south, past Louisville Dont stop until the bourbon still Parker says we can drink our fill

Take anything you want, but leave everything you need. But you better take heed, you won't get to see me bleed. I can always change, but you'll always be the same. It's such a crying shame, But someone should take the blame.

I said " Hey, hello, Mom & Dad. Are things great? OK? or just plain bad? Are you alive? Is everyone alive? oh, yeah - well me? I guess I'm doing fine. I don't know why you'd think i would be lying. I'm alive like everyone's alive Is anyone alive? I'm all right. Everyone is alive.
She said "Hey, Hello. How was your day?" I said "work is work. Don't know any other way. But I'm alive like everyone's alive. It's just the day to day that I seek. I gotta find a way to the end of the week and make it alive. Like everyone's alive I'm all right. I'm just fine. All my life I'm all right. Everyone is alive
Drawing a collective breath I could cry myself to death and wash this all away In a flash you were gone leaving me a couple of songs that I listen to everyday
And I don't even care that you were so unfair I worshipped one time at your feet Save up our tears Catalogue all our fears Give into the stretching years
Your words hit me just last night when I saw it with the after sight what was on your mind Too late to ever change things go a little bit strange you were too far behind
And the reasons I have to live Are the reasons that you would give to throw it all away Save and freeze up our tears Catalogue all our fears Give into the stretching years But that's OK
And I can't understand why you folded with a winning hand and decided to throw the bet I just can't believe you'd leave with an ace sticking up your sleeve you could have paid off your debts
And I don't even care that you were so unfair I worshipped one time at your feet Never heard what was said All nerve ends are dead Tinitus ringing in my head
Save and freeze up our tears Catalogue all our fears Give into the stretching years Drown in my tears Succumb to my fears Give into the stretching years but that's O.K. I'm not O.K. but that's O.K.
I'm not mad I'm just bored And everything I do is only because There's nothing much else for me to do And that includes you Messing around with you Piss away potential Everyday is a waste And I'm wasted everyday There's nothing much else for me to do And that includes you - and that includes you Messing around with you You see me now a little bit clearer the face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
- it gives me away the things that I say
You think you know where I'm coming from the words I say when I'm playing dumb
- it gives me away - it gives me away
One more thing before we go I've stepped over everyone I know everyone I know You see me now a little bit clearer The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
- it gives me away
You think you know where I'm coming from The words I say when I'm playing dumb
- it gives me away it gives me away it gives me away I'm always ashamed
Abusive excuses are all I have to hold Use and re use to explain why I'm so cold One for headaches One for stress But the one for fear's the one I like best Abusive excuses they save me every time The slow slide down You never can see it The slow slide down You always believe it Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies Flies for love and flies for sex But the flies for fear are flies I like best Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies The slow slide down You're trying to change me It's all my fault But you never blame me It's in everything we do One for love and one for sex But the one for fear's the one I like best This act is a bore but it makes me who I am The slow slide down You never can see it My act is a bore You always believe it It's in everything we do
Well punk is dead and yeah you're next but it seems no one has told you yet So hardcore You must be sore You come on like a major threat Face I know you like it Hard 'N' straight Face Think I'll hang around and wait Hey old school yeah you were cool But that was back in the day Well take a bow Harder than thou You scream "Guilty" like a Judge on high Well beat them back the New Jacks More than music it's a way of life Face
