Down Before

from Somerland by The 94s

/

lyrics

Verse 1:
I got demons knocking on my door
Telling me I'm heart-broke, and that I'm poor
Only ask for a little, but they always back for more
Wish things were better, but I know the score

Yes I've had much brighter times
Cash in my pocket, friend by my side
Then I heard that whisper, and it started my slide
Must be those demons, those demons of mine

Chorus:
I've got a one-way ticket down
Won't stop till I'm lying in the ground
Well I've been down before, I've been down before
Down before, I've been down before

Verse 2:
Show me a better place, wherever that may be
Somewhere warm and safe, no thoughts to prey on me
Without a second thought, I'll run, yes I'll flee
I want it now, immediately

Chorus:

Bridge:
Everything that I see
Sits there laughing at me
I want something real
Something that nobody else can steal

Final Chorus:
Well I've been down before, I've been down before
Down before, I've been down before
