The tide is high
I've never been so low
You got room to grow

You can never look up
You can't ever look down
You get kicked around

But I built it with sand
and I built it with rock
I built it with all of the things that I'm not
And I watch from the hill
as it burns to the ground
I can still see the smoke
from a train out of town

Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

I close my eyes
Scared of what I saw
Are you man at all?

Been an open book?
Been a slammed door?
Apple of the trojan war?

Drink a little bit
that's a little bit
Take a chance
or lose it all
I have no remorse no regrets
when I'm hanging from the seventeenth floor
