MUPHIN - Downward Spiral lyrics

rate me

And you say Melbourne city

It's not pain, it's not the loss and it's not the gain

It's not that I don't give a toss and it's not that I'm too game

It's definitely not simple and plain

It's what's called drains, can't exactly explain

Can't work out from where it came

Can't point the finger and blame but all the same

I've played the part, hid behind the scarf

Strayed from the path, the mask was worn

Heart was torn, since I was born

I've strayed from the norm and their uniform lies

Visualise me with the key to survive and economise

Perform live, strive and accomplish

Whilst always remaining honest, the pompous got honours

The mind was with the scene

Used to feel like a decent human being

But lately the things that I've seen

The thoughts that I've thought, the way that I've been

Doesn't really seem like I'm swimming in the stream

Directed at my dreams

Mister Sheen, I'm really quite keen

Can't you clean up my act so I can see the tracks?

And get back to where I was headed

I've done many a thing that I've regretted

But the best thing to do is just forget it

I'm sorry body if I left you neglected

The downward spiral, round and round like a vinyl

Twisting, turning, aching

Hurting flames, pain and burning

The downward spiral, the downward spiral

No sleep, very little to eat

I concentrate ever so deep, rap to a beat

Sink some piss and then I put up my feet

No time for grief, I'm tired of the speech

The leech sucks at my energy

I'm always tired both physically and mentally

They say eventually that things will fall

Right into place but I still stand and stare at space

Are you prepared to take faith with a firm grasp?

Been a while since I sincerely laughed till my gut ached

Harsh remarks spread sparse, I'm lurking in the dark

Searching for my prey just like a shark

My heart seems to be losing it's feel

Like that perfect girl is now losing her appeal

Similar to the youth but still you lose your conscious

At the same time I lost a little confidence

Nonsense filled my brain and became an idiosyncrasy

Part of my character, I guess now the cold chills have gotten into me

Similarly I've seen people take the opposite turn

I earned a little holiday from being a kind citizen

I leap into the downward spiral

She lost that spark, so did I

Still question why, try to defy the odds

Got along without a steady job

Robbed of usual passion

Often imagine how dope I would make it

Previously I stated that my life was sacred

And I can't waste it, damn I can't

Charming, won't, don't let me give up

Nup, you must leave those depressive ideas crushed

You must trust self, starting to feel the urge to surge

Splurge and search

Solomon's track "Love for Life" struck a nerve

I heard loud and clear

So now the downward spiral is out of here

It's out of here, it's out of here

Get the fuck out of here

Surprising, rising, hoping, floating

Coping, soaked in the richness of life

Surprising, rising, hoping, floating

Coping, soaked in the richness of life
