Man Down

by The Eden Project

on Bipolar Paradise (2014)

[Intro]

Seeing you was so bittersweet, I almost died
My heart jumped, but I kept screaming "Why?"
And I almost thought that I could change the past
And I almost, but that never really lasts

Oh, and I'm shot
Oh baby, I'm shot
But I'm not
Whatever you wanted
Forever just wanting you

[Dubstep Drop]

[Chorus]

And I hope you notice
And could come around
Cos I always blow it
And run it into the ground

The silence keeps me frozen
And you won't make a sound
So I hope you know it
Screaming man down

[Boyhood]
You know how everyone's always saying "Seize the moment?"
"I don't know, I'm kinda thinking it's the other way around
You know, like the moment seizes us

[Verse 1]

Uh, and I'll only say this one time
The headlines won't get none
of my time, yeah I'm lying

Cos I still can't find out why I'm so divided
Replay those few days over, somehow I'll find it
Somewhere in the words when you leant on my shoulder
I might act distant, but I swear that it's not over

I don't wanna hear it but I gotta know
Yeah I just gotta know
Is there a reason, do you care if I'm still breathing
Or am I insane?
For thinking we could've made it
Oh baby, we could've made it

[Chorus]

Oh baby, I'm shot
But I'm not
Whatever you wanted
Forever just wanting
You

[Dubstep Drop]

You

[Outro]

But you will never know it
Cos I'm just way too proud
Hide behind my ego
Block the whole world out

And these words, they don't come easy
And they don't come loud
So you'll never know it
Screaming man down

I just saw God
I just saw God
Outside the liquor store
He told me I was lost
Lost
