lyrics

This is my scheme
Or what I was taught
You start from the bottom
You rise to the top
They like an enigma
Someone to look up to
Someone with problems
That speaks just like they do
So I guess I'm intentionally flawed
I have a disposition for God
Meaning the position I'm in
Calls for something better than a job
Meaning that living this way ain't productive
So I'm left with this pain
That takes over my soul
and then desperately eats it away


I'm manic depressive
That's not a fucking secret
But I'm not trying to use it as a defense
Or an excuse
I just want to work out my problems
but then I feel what's the use
Our government is fucked up
And people can't live without food
But they still have to pay for it
And if they don't have any money
Then they just better pray for it
And if they don't believe in God
Half the time they're better off
It keeps them from being let down
When their prayers go unanswered
And keeps them looking towards
a better cure for the social cancer

I'm looking up from down below
Can't figure out where I need to go
Need someone to hold me close
Looking up from down below

This is my scheme
Or is it my nightmare
I try to look at things the right way
But it's not quite clear
A hazy dream is the expanse of my reality
I feel like I could push right on through
The fabric holding me
Captive in a world of chaos and no pity
Just a lonely young man in Biloxi Mississippi
Feel the wobble in the bass line
It's like the way my head bobble on the front line
Life's confusion gets the best of me to my amusement
But I'm not smiling when my people pretend that they're useless

Lackluster and filled with regret
You'll be surprised when it comes to an end
You go around and around and yet
You still end up where you began

looking up from down below
Can't figure out where I need to go
Need someone to hold me close
Looking up from down below
