Lyrics:

Oh here you are, there's nothing left to say.

You're not supposed to be that way. . .

Did they push you out, did they throw you away?

Touch me now and I don't care.

When you take me I'm not there.

Almost human, but I'll never be the same.

Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own.

Long way down, I don't want to live in here for long (alone).

Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own.

I never put you down, I never pushed you away.

You're not supposed to be that way.

And anything you want, there's nothing I could say.

Is there anything to feel?

Is it pain that makes you real?

Cut me off before it kills me.

I never put you down, I never pushed you away.

Take another piece of me.

Give my mind a new disease.

And the black and white world never fades to gray.
