TANTRIC LYRICS - Down And Out

"Down And Out"



I'm comin' up for air so I can

Check myself again and I stand

Proven to the man but sheltered

Confidence we tend to (shove in)

Unexpected hunger traps me

Just shut up and stand beside me

I don't need your understanding

I don't need to change a damn thing



And though I'm used to have you here

It does not change the man I was

When you found me and there was no one else around me

Just turn the page and watch me grow

There's so many things that you don't know about my soul

Live and die but this will not get old



Just when you think that you're down and out

Don't preconceive what I'm all about

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend that you were not

And when you think that we played it out

We come from the bottom and knock it out

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend but you were not, yeah



Nothing in between to fall through

I'm being myself, who are you?

You stand above and look down

You're just a plagiaristic clown

You suck the life out of me

You keep track of the payee

And when this wealth becomes dry

You'll shed a tear for another lie



And though I'm used to have you here

It does not change the man I was

When you found me and there was no one else around me

Just turn the page and watch me grow

There's so many things that you don't know about my soul

Live and die but this will not get old



Just when you think that you're down and out

Don't preconceive what I'm all about

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend that you were not

And when you think that we played it out

We come from the bottom and knock it out

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend but you were not, yeah



And though I'm used to have you here

It does not change the man I was

When you found me and there was no one else around me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh



Just when you think that you're down and out

Don't preconceive what I'm all about

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend that you were not

And when you think that we played it out

We come from the bottom and knock it out

Look for a reason that you have to start

Acting like a friend but you were not, yeah
