lyrics

you are welcome to come take a look around
don't be disturbed by what you may find on the ground
broken bottles of sorrows from when i used to dream
all those beautiful scenes that played out when i used to sleep

i can't sleep i'm giving up
tryin to breathe while my eyes are shut
there'll be plenty of time for that when my body is found
so i'm gonna keep my eyes open as long as im above ground

im done feeling like a fool
i's just tryin to be gentle
your heart may have hardened up after all your years
all i ever really wanted was to bring you just a bit of cheer

in a world full of downers i wanted to lift you up
in a world full of downers i wanted to be your upper
in a world full of downers i wanted to be your adderall
in a world full of downers i wanted to be your eight ball
