Its been a rough year for me.. so many songs have helped.. this lil diddy is super ass kicker tho.. :D

THANK YOU PJ

down, fell by the wayside
no getting out
oh 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
yeah!

  • I agree
    the first time I heard this song, it really fit with the state of mind I was in at the time, and past experiences I have had

  • best song ever!

    those have to be hands down some of the best lines EVER in a song.

    who wrote the lyrics to that song anyway: mike or ed?


    YES! I totally agree! (seems like I agree with you a lot katellis.) .;)

    I believe Ed wrote the words to this one. Not 100% sure, but I really do think it was Ed.

    GREAT song! "takes a sad song....and makes it better..."

  • Down rules, such a great uplifting tune...I wish I could say:
    "I think I'll throw, these cigarettes away!" Ed always changes pills to cigarettes live
    Please don't smoke in smoke free buildings. You aren't cool, you're just an asshole
