"Concrete Swan Dive" lyrics

"Concrete Swan Dive"

Pages of our lives
You're wrapped up in the ending
Of everything you'll never know
Wondering where you're gonna go
Cannot get what you want
Just tell me what I live for
The telephone let's you know when you're alone
We're all alone here
Something about sacrifice, that's all I know
Given you everything, still you won't show your face here
Don't speak, I know all of your motives

One thing you should know
What I really want to get off of my chest
Nobody made me who I am
I made me by myself
Father, don't talk of peace, yeah, when there's nothing left
I'm far gone
So far gone, I'm free

Didn't I wear you down?
Didn't I count you out?
Watch as I pick up the pieces
No way I can afford your love
No way I can afford you
Something about - well, I don't know
And it's starting to show
Caught in the pages of bullshit overload

One thing you should know
What I really want to get off of my chest
Nobody made me who I am
I made me by myself
Father, don't talk of peace, yeah, when there's nothing left
I'm far gone
So far gone, I'm free

Send all you have
So long
Send all you have
So long
Downtown they medicate
Tell me why you care at all and I will save your soul
Calling your bluff
We're calling your bluff
Uptown they meditate
Tell me why you care at all and I will save your soul
Line up

We're getting too old for this play-doh
Try to connect to anything in this unknown
And this unknown tears me away
Try to connect to anything in this unknown
And this unknown tears me away
Caught in your bullshit love

One thing you should know
What I really want to get off of my chest
Nobody made me who I am
I made me by myself
Father, don't talk of peace, yeah, when there's nothing left
I'm far gone
So far gone, I'm free
