The floor will have it's way it seems.
It fights me like a trampoline.
It won't let me on the ground,
So this time I'm not coming down.
No this time I'm not coming down.
I've been talking in my sleep.
We once kissed goodnight, and here we speak.
You loved me just so brutaly,
To have the bitter life wrung out of me.
(note: without pattern, play with chords)
This time I'm not coming down.
This time I'm not coming down.
...trampoline...

The whole platoon is overfed,
And we're in this thing over our heads.
My mind has never been so clear,
But I stutter like an auctioneer.
As the night has come alive with griefs,
The hew and hollar, spit and scream.
Every one of them is sick with lust,
But every one of them will outlive us.
(Chorus, as before)
And if I really thought I could,
I'd give up your ghost for good,
But I'm not sure it isn't you...
That keeps my ghost from leaving too.
But I don't miss you half as much,
As who you made me think I was.
When I could see myself the way you do.
And I could almost see myself in you.
I could almost see myself in you.
Final chorus:
And this time I'm not coming down.
No this time I'm not coming down.
This time I'm not coming down...
...trampoline...

The w[C]hole platoon is [G]over[F]fed,
And we're [Am]in this thing ov[G]er our h[G]eads.
My [Am]mind has never b[G]een so cl[F]ear,

As the [C]night has come a[G]live with g[F]riefs,
The h[Am]ew and hollar, s[G]pit and s[F]cream.
Every [Am]one of them is s[G]ick with[F] lust,

But I[Am]'m not sure it i[G]sn't yo[F]u...
That k[C]eeps my ghost from l[G]eaving t[F]oo.
But [C]I don't miss you h[G]alf as m[F]uch,
As w[Am]ho you made me th[G]ink I w[F]as.
When I could s[Am]ee myself the w[G]ay you [F]do.
And I could a[C]lmost see mys[G]elf in y[F]ou.
I could a[C]lmost see mys[G]elf in y[F]ou.
Final chorus:
And t[G5]his time I'm not c[F]oming d[C]own.
No t[Am]his time I'm not c[G5]oming d[F]own.
