Everybody's Down...

Everybody's Down... 

Put me in hole,
Way down deep,
Lay down your darkness,
At my feet,
And there I'll meet,
All those secrets,
That you keep.

Everybody's down,
Everybody's down.

I see them walking downtown,
Strutting all around,
Hey,
Look at me!

Everybody's down,
Everybody's down.

All these illusions,
Sad delusions,
Must be at least,
Six deep,
Scent of fear,
Cries I hear,
Begging for release.

Everybody's down,
Everybody's down.

We don't know yet,
The depth of the darkness,
The sad darkness,
Of true defeat,
Or have the patience,
For a bended knee.

Everybody's down,
Everybody's down.

It's not over,
No walking toes in clover,
No dancing in the street,
No lost lovers meet,
No sunny end yet,
For this dark disease.

Everybody's down,
Everybody's down,
No one's waiting around.

Put you in hole,
Way down deep,
Lay down our darkness,
At your feet,
And there you'll meet,
All those secrets,
That they keep.

Everybody's down,
Everybody's down.
