Lyrics

Down Swinging

I stay up real late Tryna find someone to hate There's a black balloon I carry Been a long way from okay But I'm goin' down swinging Oh, I'm goin' down swinging In this stress dream Every day is Halloween I had a panic attack on the underground Man, I felt like a circus freak But I'm goin' down swinging Oh, I'm goin' down swinging So, let it rain on my failing light I can take it, give me hellfire Watch me keep my cool tonight Nothing much on the radio And reality TV kills my soul You wanna sing at my funeral? Go make arrangements But you should know by now Honey, I'm goin' down swinging, yeah Honey, I'm goin' down swinging Let it rain on my failing light I can take it, give me hellfire Watch me keep my cool tonight Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah (yeah, I'm goin' down) Ah, ah, ah (goin' down, down swinging, down swinging, hey, yeah) Ah, ah, ah (yeah, I'm goin' down, down swinging, yeah, I'm goin' down) Yeah, let it rain on my failing light I can take it, give me hellfire Watch me keep my cool tonight Watch me keep my cool tonight Watch me keep my cool tonight
