Down In Flames Lyrics - Great Divide - Semisonic

It's not the pain I'm used to it 

It's feeling like I'm already dead 

I see from the ceiling a misty spirit 

Rising from a place in my head 

And I never even get to go down 

Down in flames 

I said friend you have a life to see 

Why do you wanna scare me so? 

All the suffering's a mystery to me 

I can't even pretend to know 

So you'll never even get to go down 

Down in flames 

You'll never even get to go down 

Down in flames 

We had plans to explore the stars 

Be rejected by stage door guards 

Mining for gold as the time unreels 

Not stifling behind suburban wheels 

Not stifling behind suburban wheels 

The plan was too burn up when the air was clear 

We'd all wear our visors down 

An arc welder spark in the atmosphere 

Not this man-sized hole in the ground 

Now your father's face is frozen between anger and tears 

Your mother's hair's amazingly gray 

And I'm seeing these friends for the first time in years 

It's icicle reunion day 

And you never even got to go down 

Down in flames 

You never even got to go down 

Down in flames 

You never even got to go down 

Down in flames 

You never, you never, you never even got to go 

Down in flames
