Downtown

Hey, turn around, man, I'm gonna take you downtown If you wanna grab a sack, go ahead and do it My fear of death was set in place by a lie A glorified youth, that's the only way of life, yeah My teeth were shakin', slowly, surely dissipating Yeah, the wrinkles on my face, they weren't from my old age I try to understand you throwin' it away All your talent down the drain, man, it just makes perfect sense When I look you in the eyes, it takes me right back Yeah, your future helps me move on from my dark past Don't give in It's not real You don't have a choice Choose to feel Your words' insane, man, only if I was left-brained I could understand all your funny logic I was indifferent, I saw the first time Come on back, come on back, come on back to gain your life Yeah, man, it's hard when that loco keeps on moving Got some money and some change just to wait for my train I try to stop me now, I'm locked and engaged Come on back, come on back, come on back and leave your pain When I look you in the eyes, it takes me right back Yeah, your future helps me move on from my dark past Don't give in It's not real You don't have a choice Choose to feel Yeah, we found you laying in your hotel room With your Bible tied up because you were up to no good We started shaking you all in your bed Doing everything we could, just hoping that you're not dead We dragged you out and threw you into our car Pushed the pedal to the floor and drove to the hospital yard They brought you in and told us both to wait I was praying to myself it's not too late There are consequences for your actions (living hand to mouth) There are consequences in real life There are consequences, you can't escape from them There are consequences (leave your bed of concrete) Don't hide behind your reasons Real life is full of feeling (living hand to mouth) Things come and go in seasons Truth should transcend our feelings (leave your bed of concrete) Don't hide behind your reasons Real life is full of feeling (living hand to mouth) Things come and go in seasons Truth should transcend our feelings
