I took the shit that you shoveled, and I took it in stride.
I swallowed every fucking evil and I kept them inside.
You pissed it all away 'til you had nothing left.
Your chances gone-- your number called-- and reckoning is coming.
It's coming fast.
I looked the other way as you threw it away.
And I pretended not to notice as you raped your veins.
Everything that you ever were
has been torn apart and sold for scrap,
and now you're alone.
You shut down. (Forced down.)
You dropped out. (Snuffed out.)
Shut down to the feeling.
Shut down to the bleeding.
I let you tell me that you'd change when you never would.
And you sold me that cared when you never could.
you promised so many things that never came.
And now all your lies are like a house of cards that you can't maintain.
You shut down. (Forced down.)
You dropped out. (Snuffed out.)
Shut down to the feeling.
Shut down to the bleeding.
You shut down. (Shut down. Forced down.)
You dropped out. (Ground up. Snuffed out.)
Shut down. (Shut down kill the thieves.)
Fade out. (Shut down kill the belief.)
Your viral obssession is as cold as iron bars.
Tell me where I should go. Tell me what's too far.
Shut down-- signals out-- fly your flag and become our doubts.
Tucked away in cellophane, you'll wither, pale, and fade away.
Shut down-- signals out-- fly the flags and become our doubts.
You took me for a ride and then put me to bed.
The potential that you wasted caught up as you fled.
You'd wish it all away if you had any hope,
but you've lived too long hating yourself, and finally you've begun to choke.
You shut down. (Forced down.)
You dropped out. (Snuffed out.)
Shut down to the feeling.
Shut down to the bleeding.
You shut down. (Shut down. Forced down.)
You dropped out. (Ground up. Snuffed out.)
Shut down. (Shut down kill the thieves.)
Fade out. (Shut down kill the belief.)
