Shut Down

I've been vindicated

I've been loved and hated

I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated

No, I don't believe it

I just can't conceive it

I can write all night but in the morning I can't read itOh no, don't know what's the matter

Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down

If I don't get what I want

And there ain't enough to go around

I become oblivious to the obvious

Just ridiculousAs I flip the pages

You're a time that's ageless

In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages

Though we were related

Couldn't be separated

Tried to get ahead but only got decapitatedIf I don't get what you want

And you don't get what I need

We become oblivious to the obvious

Just dysfunctional

Shut down, shut down, shut down
