Everyman Lyrics by Ernie Botts + the Miseries

The Art of Fading Thought

2003

[Verse]
Light a match watch it smoke out
Grey cold embers of growing doubt
The spark is lit and then it dies
Like the waning fire in lovers' eyes
[Chorus]
Tell me you're dying
Tell me you're feeling low
Tell me you're dying
Tell me you're feeling low
[Post-Chorus]
And every man who works outside
You're telling me he don't take pride
In what he does or says
Or what he takes home
[Verse]
Move your feet on down the strip
Where your people once gathered
Clouded minds and desperate fates
All the lives that you have ravished
[Chorus]
Tell me you're dying
Tell me you're feeling low
Tell me you're dying
Tell me you're feeling low
[Post-Chorus]
And every girl with starry eyes
You're telling me she can live her lies
Of beauty and mystique
Or the brilliant guy she'll meet
[Verse]
Fill a vial up with tears
Tell the world about your fears
Scream and shout at what's been taken
Cry out that you've been mistaken
[Pre-Chorus]
All these voices haunting me, I
Carry them all no one can see
I've lost my bearings
See
[Chorus]
Tell you I'm dying
Tell you I'm feeling low
Tell you I'm dying
Tell you I'm feeling low
[Post-Chorus]
And every time I complain about my life
The lights die off and I compromise
Of everything I've ever done
Or had enough mind to believe
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ah-ooh
Woo
