Ab [Verse 1] A square of light moves its way through the empty room Across the stained yellow carpet Like a ghost of myself in the afternoon Haunting my basement apartment I looked in to the mirror Hanging behind my door The glass was cracked and the man staring back He donât look like me anymore And if the world is gonna burn Everyone should get a turn to light it up [Chorus] Down and out, Iâve been on the rocks Iâve been having some pretty dark thoughts Yeah, I like them a lot [Verse 2] Time and time again, well Iâve tried and failed To get my act together And Iâll admit lately things really went off the rails I know that you deserve better But in the morning, as I was boarding The commuter train to work The boss was calling, he said, âThereâs been cutbacks and Iâm sorry youâre the firstâ And If I canât support the two of us How can I support a third? [Chorus] Down and out, Iâve been on the rocks Iâve been having some pretty dark thoughts [Bridge] And Iâm on the brink Fallinâ deep into debt Fallinâ deep into drink I can drown those regrets I donât have to think Now Iâm working the night shift Asleep at the wheel I was bursting apart like a flame from a spark Thinkin' "Jesus, this canât be for real" [Verse 3] My sweat-soaked mattress Corner of the room Cigarettes and matches In the fading afternoon And a picture of my kid, yeah, heâs smiling Itâs the first day of school [Outro] She said, "I found the gun, it was buried beneath Piles of clothes in the room where your son sleeps And I canât pretend, to know how this will end"
