Same Way Down

The Jelly Jam

you found a field, you went to play
you tripped and fell and I looked away, I'm sorry
I was mad at how easily you were fooled
and I thought that you were being cruel, I'm sorry
so sorry
it's the same way down
it's the same way to find yourself at lower ground
while the flood is coming
it's the same way down
yeah, the same way to run away from higher ground
while the flood is coming
I shook my fist and my face burned
you looked at me and then something turned, I was sorry
yeah I realize that it wasn't you and it was something bigger than me too
so I am sorry
so sorry
I watched them all get in a line
and hold out hands one at a time for poison food
and anyone who tried to tell
was shouted down the pits of hell instead of given gratitude
so anger was my first reaction
to put you down gave satisfaction I must admit
then I saw that we were all the same
and we were both part of the game, not the cause of it
not the cause of it
not the cause
