Shut Down Lyrics - Let Your Dim Light Shine - Soul Asylum

I've been vindicated 

I've been loved and hated 

I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated 

No, I don't believe it 

I just can't conceive it 

I can write all night but in the morning I can't read it 

Oh no, don't know what's the matter 

Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down 

If I don't get what I want 

And there ain't enough to go around 

I become oblivious to the obvious 

Just ridiculous 

As I flip the pages 

You're a time that's ageless 

In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages 

Though we were related 

Couldn't be separated 

Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated 

If I don't get what you want 

And you don't get what I need 

We become oblivious to the obvious 

Just dysfunctional 

Shut down, shut down, shut down
