Down and Lonely Lyrics

Burn the bridges down

On every path

You ever traveled

Rip the rug from under

Every bond you forged

Along the way

Treating every friendship

Like it was a business

What can they do for you

That you could use

To boost your bottom line

And nobody else can know

What's slithering

Through your head

They'd run before

You could take what you need

Shut the lights out

Don't let them see your lies

Keep them calm

And crawling back for more

Groom them slowly

Till their cozy in your sights

Then make your move

In for the throat

When will you ever learn

The reason you're feeling down

And lonely

You see other people's love

As an affront against you

How could they have chosen them

When they could've chosen you

Nothing is worth having

Till someone already has it

The fuel won't turn your engine

Unless it's siphoned

From somebody's tank

And nobody else can know

What's slithering

Through your head

They'd run before

You could take what you need

Shut the lights out

Don't let them see your lies

Keep them calm

And crawling back for more

Groom them slowly

Till their cozy in your sights

Then make your move

In for the throat

When will you ever learn

The reason you're feeling down

And lonely

You're scared that the world will see

The wretch that you've come to be

Artfully plotting every act

Of false spontaneity

Preying behind your smile

But never showing your teeth

Shut the lights out

Don't let them see your lies

Keep them calm

And crawling back for more

Groom them slowly

Till their cozy in your sights

Then make your move

In for the throat

When will you ever learn

The reason you're feeling down

And lonely
