Lyrics
You should seen it before you jumped on in, and realized that if you look before you leap then you decide to sink or swim
You should have assessed the situation before taking action, realizing that thoughtful decisions determine success or failure.
But you dove into that social pool, powdering your nose huh, and going home with people that you hardly even know
You immersed yourself in social activities, indulging in substances and engaging with people you barely knew.
And you're a ghost
You've become like a ghost, withdrawn and detached.
Now look at you, you hardly even speak, haven't woken up to the thought of getting clean in fuckin' weeks
You've lost the ability to communicate effectively and haven't thought about getting clean for weeks.
And if you did, I guarantee you'd never leave the sheets, home alone until that fix comes, put you on your feet
If you did consider it, you'd probably remain in bed until the next fix energizes you.
And some blame it on the city, some blame it on the streets, some bury it inside beneath that dream of being free
Some blame external factors like the city or the streets, burying their struggles beneath the dream of freedom.
But I can see it in your eyes, that you're aware of what it needs, how you feel like it's the only thing in love that doesn't leave
I can see in your eyes that you recognize what's necessary, feeling like love is the only constant in life.
And it's a shame, cause I remember life without the games, and the bittersweet acknowledgment of how it's gonna change
Reflecting on the past, life was once free from games, but change is inevitable, and it's bittersweet.
But the rain can't wash you if you're laying in the dirt, and the pain can't change you if you blame it on the hurt
Rain can't cleanse you if you're in the dirt, and blaming the pain won't bring about change.
So God help us
Repetition of a plea for divine help.
So God help us
-So God help us
-So God help us
-I mean look at you, Mr. I-don't-even-have-a-clue
Addressing someone clueless about their actions.
Mr. get it right the first time or shut it down from you
Mocking the attitude of getting things right the first time or not at all.
Cause you're the boss, and Daddy taught you how to be a mine
You're in charge, influenced by your father's behavior.
Via stepping out on Mommy and releasing with your hands
Reference to a dysfunctional family background, affecting your ability to discern what's right.
And now it hurts, cause you can't even question what is right, life is nothing but a challenge and you want to win the fight
Life is a challenge, and you're determined to win despite the hardships.
So go ahead, try and make that old man proud, and beat that last remaining angel off your shoulder to the ground
Encouraging to make the old man proud by overcoming moral guidance.
And then escape, slap the world steady in its face and make moves on em, force em all to cater to your taste
Take control, assert dominance, and shape the world according to your preferences.
Exterminate the good in you that tried to fly away, when you figured out the only human part of you is pain
Suppress the good part of you that aspired for something better when faced with pain.
And then it raised you, sunk its dirty fangs into your drained roots, threw you to the fire when you thought that you were flame proof
The pain shaped and influenced you, exposing vulnerability when you thought you were invulnerable.
So that's the reason why you're sinking alone, and going home without a rescuer and drinking alone
You're sinking alone, devoid of rescue, and turning to alcohol for solace.
So God help us
Repetition of a plea for divine help.
So God help us
-So God help us
-So God help us
-Now jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump
An ambiguous call to jump into the fire, possibly symbolizing a destructive path. Reference to parental figures.
Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire
-You're Mommy's little angel, I'm Daddy's little squire
-Now Jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump
-Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire
-You're Mommy's little angel, I'm Daddy's little squire
