lyrics

Down the river..I’ll be safe. Nobody notices, my games
Down the river..I’ll be safe. Nobody notices, who I blame
Who I blame
Who I blame

Wake me up, get me steady, then lace me up and I am on my way..
There’s some changing that I’ll have to do, I’ll use my crutch and I’ll abuse it too.
Make me up, get me pretty, then dress me up and then I’m on my way
I know there’s changing that I’ll have to do, if its for the worse then it’ll be on you..

Prop me up, paint my smile, shut me up and then I’ll fade away..
This world’s better off empty, or without people just like me
Peel away, all the hate, turn around and it’ll be ok,
There’s some changes that I’ll have to do, I’ll use my crutch and I’ll about it too..

…and I’ll be here forever, dreaming these same dreams I dream!
..and I’ll be here forever, dreaming these same dreams!
