I've been vindicated, I've been loved and hated
I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated
No, I don't believe it, I just can't conceive it
I can write all night but in the morning I can't read it
Oh no, don't know what's the matter
Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down
If I don't get what I want
And there ain't enough to go around
I become oblivious to the obvious, just ridiculous
As I flip the pages, you're a time that ageless
In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages
Though we were related, couldn't be separated
Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated
If I don't get what you want
And you don't get what I need
We become oblivious to the obvious
Just dysfunctional,
Shut down, shut down, shut down
When I can't get keep from getting down
And I grow tired of hangin' 'round
I become invisible, unlivable
Just dysfunctional
Shut down, shut down, shut down
