lyrics

He wakes up at 4am everyday
Looks at who he is
He’s never who he wanted to be
He’s molded from corporate pessimists
Suit and tie are his disguise
Feels that is he left
They wouldn’t realize

He told me
Even if the lord himself came down
And told him to re-think
He wouldn’t even blink

Eleven hundred feet about the ground
His back facing the sun
He wants to jump into the sky
Maybe then he will become someone

Doctor please get me out of this mess
Prescribe me some more Xanax
Anything to make me forget
That I lost the dream I had
Wanted to be a drummer in a band
Now I’m tied to a noose
In a business land that I can’t stand

Eleven hundred feet about the ground
His back facing the sun
He wants to jump into the sky
Maybe then he will become someone

He gave up on himself so long ago (x3)

Eleven hundred feet above the ground
His back facing the sun
He wants to taste the pavement
Maybe then he will become someone
(x2)

He told me
Even if the lord himself came down
He’d find that man on the ground
Disappointed and sorry that he never became the man
He so badly wanted to be
So badly wanted to be
So badly wanted to be
So badly
