Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't terrorize, I see terror in your eyes

As we go up, we go down

I can't socialize, I'll be institutionalized

As we go up, we go down

[PreChorus]

And see the truth, yeah

Is just a lie, oh

And see the truth, yeah

Is just a lie, oh

[Outro]

I speak in monotone, "Leave my fucking life alone"

As we go up, we go down

As we go up, we go down

And see the truth, yeah

As we go up, we go down

It's just a lie

As we go up, we go down

And see the truth, yeah

As we go up, we go down

It's just a lie

As we go up, we go down

And see the truth, yeah

As we go up, we go down

It's just a lie

As we go up, we go down

And see the truth, yeah
