Rumination

Strapped to a rotting bed if I were up I'd rule the world
 Why can't I be a stand-up guy I'm stuck at prone
 Without me that worthless son of a bitch would not have a dime
 How did this happen to me - where did it all go wrong
 We make the grave mistakes
 Then try to fool our own minds
 Distress and consequence
 The rumination kills time
 How am I supposed to face the day to face the world
 If only I were given a fair break you'd see I swear
 You can end up burning bridges just for standing tall
 The losing circle is so cold lonely and dark
 We make the grave mistakes
 Then try to fool our own minds
 Distress and consequence
 The rumination kills time
 I see you everywhere
 It's so hard to look
 Now I hear you everywhere
 Friendships we had mistook
 So face your reflection
 And take your medication
 Now make a new direction
 Or stay in rumination
 And I'm still strapped to a rotting bed if I were up I'd rule the world
 Why can't I be a stand-up guy I'm stuck at prone
 Without me that worthless son of a bitch would not have a dime
 How did this happen to me - where did it all go wrong
