An ordinary soul on a one-way road
What am I fighting for?
Everything points to the building??
A monumental fool's gold
I open the door to the world at war
And our houses are falling down
Is there no way back? Am I too late now?
What can I do to get me out?
It's a long way down
Gotta pray my bones won't lie in the middle
Of this wasted town
It'll pick you up, but there's one way out
It gets easier the more you've got to lose
It's a long way down (long way down)
The walls are down and the curtains are torn
Where my life once stood
I can trace each step through the moments I've missed
And the ones I never thought that I would
My world became just what I made it (whoa)
And I now know what I gave up (whoa)
It's a long way down
Gotta pray my bones won't lie in the middle
Of this wasted town
It'll pick you up, but there's one way out
It gets easier the more you've got to lose
It's a long way down (long way down)
