Down and Out (Re-Recorded)

Well, I'm coming up for air so I can

Check myself again and I stand

Proven to the man, but sheltered

A confidence we tend to shelf and

Unexpected hunger drives me

Just shut up and stand beside me

I don't need your understanding

I don't need to change a damn thing

And though I'm used to have you here

Doesn't change the man I was

When you found me

There was no one else around me, yeah

You turn the page and watch me grow

So many things that you don't know about my soul

Live and die, but this will not get old

Just when you think that you're down and out

Don't preconceive what I'm all about

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend, but you are not

So when you think that you played it out

We come from the bottom and knock it out

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend, but you are not, yeah

Nothing in between to fall through

I'm being myself, who are you?

You stand above and look down

You're just a plagiaristic clown

You suck the life out of me

You keep track of the pity

When this well becomes dry

You'll shed a tear for another lie

Though I'm used to have you here

It doesn't change the man I was

When you found me

And there was no one else around me, yeah

You turn the page and watch me grow

So many things that you don't know about my soul

Live and die, but this will not get old

Just when you think that you're down and out

Don't preconceive what I'm all about

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend, but you are not

So when you think that you played it out

We come from the bottom and knock it out

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend, but you are not, yeah

And though I'm used to have you here
