Songtext von The Way Down

Never picked for schoolyard games I was the child pariah you laughed at when my eyes betrayed the fact that I was sad Although I tried so hard to fall into place and keep a confident smile on my face Please accept my humble thanks For all the gifts you've given me I keep them all in pristine form I take them with me everywhere Hid inside my books and dreams I befriended many monsters and enlisted them as escorts Between my house of horrors and the institutes of insensitivity and intolerance Once again my gracious thanks For everything you've left to me Although it's heavier than granite I take it with me everywhere And so for now I thrive and fly in this illusory sky But I'm weighted down for the way down The way down The way down Yes, even now I cry as I climb Because I've no doubt I'm weighted down for the way down The way down The way down Late to bloom Too little room in my awkward body for my uncomfortable soul Please respect my disrespectful thanks For all the shit you've given me I take it with me everywhere I take it all everywhere And so for now I thrive and fly in this illusory sky But I'm weighted down for the way down The way down The way down Yes, even now I cry as I climb Because I've no doubt I'm weighted down for the way down The way down The way down As for my crimes What can I say? You say they've paid I say I'm weighted down for the way down The way down The way down
