Down from the balcony somebody flew
saying there's nothing here for me and
I've got only myself to blame
for being the way that I am

idiot boy, eating mud
you symbolize so much more than you know
while the rain was soaking everything,
he thought:

Why can't I just finish what I started?
I've been floating upstream since we parted

Brick by brick
step by step, oh my god
everyone says you're hanging your head lower now
well it's a beautiful day
to fade away, to take a stand
and show them all you're not
just one more common man
and idiot rules/idiots rule
that's the only thing
that will never change
that will never fade

So why can't I just finish what I started?
