Mud is my name and I'm lower than the dirt

I've got a full-proof plan to stop me getting hurt

By you or anyone who tries to pull it off

So give me your best shot

I won't even compensate

I got broke by a high tide come inside

I try to make myself an exile for awhile

I got away now to stop you getting in

After use it will be easy to develop thick skin

And now I'm coming to my hay day

I am prepared to jump again into the fray

I said well maybe I wont', maybe I'll sound bad

It will be so easy, instead of getting hurt again

Jump into the pressures of a life's day

I hide under the covers and wait for it to go away

I understand that it's downtime

But life has been so long livin by lamplights

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have

And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see

And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be

And all the writing on the wall is words that I will never read

So come into my room

where I'm reigning supreme

I said my hair is dirty and my sink is never clean

You think I lead my life in fear

Well, if I keep it this way

You know nobody ever comes in here

I like it like that

Curved in the corner on the bedroom mattress

I said I can see for miles now

And if I stay still I stand no chance of going down

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me let me out

Screamin and I shout

Now I break my water spout

Listen to the sound as my life comes pouring out

You're working at a pool what did ya know?

I give myself to people i hate, that's how it goes

I understand that is downtime

But life has been so long livin by lamplight

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have

And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see

And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be

And all the writing on the wall is words that I will never read

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

I aspire and desire to the things that I am not

Cause I need and I greed and I feel that is real

On my knees I will kneel with the web of steel

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

Gimme what you got

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have

And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see

And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be

And all the writing on the wall is words that I will never read
