Lyrics:

Oh here you are, there's nothing left to say.
    You're not supposed to be that way. . .
Did they push you out, did they throw you away?
    Touch me now and I don't care.
    When you take me I'm not there.
    Almost human, but I'll never be the same.

Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own.
Long way down, I don't want to live in here for long (alone).
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own.

I never put you down, I never pushed you away.
    You're not supposed to be that way.
And anything you want, there's nothing I could say.
    Is there anything to feel?
    Is it pain that makes you real?
    Cut me off before it kills me.

I never put you down, I never pushed you away.
    Take another piece of me.
    Give my mind a new disease.
    And the black and white world never fades to gray.
