Facedown
American Bandit Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm spinning out of control
I land facedown
Laying on the floor it's gonna hurt now
Just want to get out
I need to get out
I'm crying out but does anyone hear my voice
I'm choking on the words now
I'm at the end and I'm feelin' I have no choice

Thought things would change this time around
This is it
This is it
You've pushed me to this point
This is where my head splits
This is it
This is it
Get me out of my head
I'm spinning out of control
I land facedown
Laying on the floor it's gonna hurt now
Just want to get out
How the hell did I get here
I'm spinning out of control
It hurts now
Take another shot of whiskey to pass the time
Wash it all away
Fall in line, work and die, what a life
This is it
This is it
You've pushed me to this point
This is where my head splits
This is it
This is it
Get me out of my head
These eyes are shut and they never want to wake up
Wake up
Wake up
I'm spinning out of control
I land facedown
Laying on the floor it's gonna hurt now
Just want to get out
How the hell did I get here
I'm spinning out of control
It hurts now
This happens every time
Stuck in a daze I tell them
Thinking everything could be okay
But it fell apart overnight
I said overnight
I feel it one more time
Buried
Under
Feelings

Forever
I'm spinning out of control
