It's a sunny day on the west coast,
And currently my shades are drawn, my TV's on
I haven't left this place for days,
It's funny how things change

I take what I get, and I throw it away and I break it
I had everything and you took it from me and I hate it
My thoughts run fast through me like a lethal injection
Like a lethal injection

Why does the world as I know it
Keep on bringing me down?
Do my best to hide it,
But it keeps bringing me down
No matter how high that I try to climb I'll be pulled back down again
Why does the world, as I know it
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down

It's 5PM and I'm still locked in,
And my guitar's tuned wrong, my voice is gone,
I haven't seen sunlight in days,
It's funny how things change

I take what I get, and I throw it away and I break it
I had everything and you took it from me and I hate it
My thoughts run fast through me like a lethal injection
Like a lethal injection

Why does the world as I know it, keep on bringing me down?
Do my best to hide it, but it keeps bringing me down
No matter how high that I try to climb I'll be pulled back down again
Why does the world, as I know it
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down

Why does the world as I know it, keep on bringing me down?
Do my best to hide it, but it keeps bringing me down
No matter how high that I try to climb I'll be pulled back down again
Why does the world, as I know it
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down
Keep on bringing me down
