Lyrics

Verse 1
Getting a little erratic here
And I don’t know who to trust
I guess they got a way of readin’ my mind
I guess I got to adjust
I’ve got my arms that flip flop flip flop flip
I got my head on a spring
Well I thought I got you on my side
I haven’t got fucking anything

Chorus
I’m just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even tryin’ to stand out
I’m getting smaller and smaller and smaller
And I have nothing to say
It’s all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I’m afraid I am starting to fade away

Verse 2
Uh-huh
I kinda see through the cracks
When I press up on the wall
I’m not lookin’ to stand up real high
I’d be happy to crawl
I think I’m losing my grip
But I can still make a fist
You know I still got my one good arm
That I can beat, mmm, I can beat myself up with

Chorus
I’m just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even tryin’ to stand out
I’m getting smaller and smaller and smaller
And I have nothing to say
It’s all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I’m afraid I am starting to fade away

Bridge 1
Hey, and for what it was worth
I really used to believe
That maybe there’s some great thing
That we could achieve
And now I can’t tell the difference
Or know what to feel
Between what I’ve been tryin’ so hard to see
And what appears to be real

Instrumental Break

Bridge 2
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away

Outro
My world is getting smaller every day
Hey, hey hey, hey, and that’s okay
My world is getting smaller every day
Hey, hey hey, hey, and that’s okay
My world is getting smaller every day
Hey, hey hey, hey, and that’s okay
My world is getting smaller every day
Hey, hey hey, hey, and that’s okay
