Watered Down

The Used · Artwork [2009]

In my eyes, closed and jaded it's no surprise

The lights have faded, I always walk away

You'll always hear me say; "I don't need this"



I've been given such a gift

Shame to take advantage of it

Wanted, wasting leaves you wanting more

Be careful what you're wishing for



Nothing that I can hold on to with my broken hands

I'm not thinking that I should, anyway

So I leave holding up, can't, don't care what you say

'Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away

Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away



Now, my days, are feeling numbered

This sad cliché,

I'm hiding under this spider web of dreams

I'm stuck here as it seems to be breaking



Shining brighter than you burn

Something that I would never learn

I could never lay this curse on you

Cursing the days when there's



Nothing that I can hold on to with my broken hands

I'm not thinking that I should, anyway

So I leave holding up, can't, don't care what you say

'Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away

'Cause it makes no difference

Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away

It makes no difference

It makes no difference if I throw it away

Makes no difference if I throw it away



It all just ends up tasting watered down

[Standing here, so complicated]

And everyone has found an easy way out

An easy way out

It all just ends up tasting watered down

[Instead of being so complicated]

And everyone has found an easy way out

An easy way out



Nothing that I can hold on to with my broken hands

I'm not thinking that I should, anyway

So I leave holding up, can't, don't care what you say

'Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away

'Cause it makes no difference

Yeah, it makes no difference if I throw it away

It makes no difference

It makes no difference if I throw it away

Yeah, it no difference if I throw it away

"Get out of town by sundown

I said if they don't get out of town

We kill the men

We kill the women

And kill the children

We kill the babies

We kill the blind

We kill the crippled

We kill the crazy..."
