Same Way Down

you found a field, you went to play

you tripped and fell and I looked away, I'm sorry

I was mad at how easily you were fooled

and I thought that you were being cruel, I'm sorry

so sorry

it's the same way down

it's the same way to find yourself at lower ground

while the flood is coming

it's the same way down

yeah, the same way to run away from higher ground

while the flood is coming

I shook my fist and my face burned

you looked at me and then something turned, I was sorry

yeah I realize that it wasn't you and it was something bigger than me too

so I am sorry

so sorry

I watched them all get in a line

and hold out hands one at a time for poison food

and anyone who tried to tell

was shouted down the pits of hell instead of given gratitude

so anger was my first reaction

to put you down gave satisfaction I must admit

then I saw that we were all the same

and we were both part of the game, not the cause of it

not the cause of it

not the cause
