Lyrics for The Big Come Down

There is a game I play Try to make myself okay Try so hard to make the pieces all fit Smash it apart Just for the fuck of it Bye bye, ooh Got to get back to the bottom (bye bye, ooh) The big come down isn't that what you wanted? (Bye, bye, ooh) Find a place with the failed and forgotten (bye bye, ooh) Isn't that really what you wanted now? There is no place I can go There is no way I can hide It feels like it keeps coming from the inside There is a hate that burns within The most desperate place I have ever been Try to get back to where I'm from The closer I get, the worse it becomes The closer I get, the worse it becomes There is no place I can go There is no way I can hide It feels like it keeps coming from the inside
