Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Getting a little erratic here
And I don't know who to trust
I guess they got a way of reading my mind
I guess I got to adjust
I got my arms that flip flop, flip flop, flip
I got my head on a spring
Well I thought I got you on my side
I haven't got fucking anything
[Verse 2]
I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller
[Verse 3]
And I have nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I'm afraid I am starting to fade away
[Verse 4]
I can kind of see out the cracks
When I press up to the wall
I'm not looking to stand up real high
I'd be happy to crawl
I think I'm losing my grip
But I can still make a fist
You know I still got my one good arm
That I can beat...
I can beat myself up with
[Verse 5]
I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller
[Verse 6]
And I have nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I'm afraid I am starting to fade away
[Verse 7]
Hey and for what it is worth
I really used to believe
That maybe there's some great thing
That we could achieve
And now I can't tell the difference
Or know what to feel
Between what I've been trying so hard to see
And what appears to be real
[Verse 8]
Fade away
My world is getting smaller every day
Hey hey-hey hey and that's ok
