    Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out...
    Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.
    The names can be changed... but the place is still the same.
    I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

    Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
    Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
    One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
    And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

    Won't let the light escape from me.
    Won't let the darkness swallow me.

    CHILLIN LIKE BOB DYLAN!!!

    I like it too, especially the Benaroya Hall edition. Mike really plays some awesome lead and solos in that.

    How it wasn't the first single off "Riot Act" or why it was left off is beyond me. Incredible song.
    "All I Ever Knew" available now in print and digital formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.
