Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
become oblivious  to the obvious
Just  ridiculous
As  I flip  the pages
You're  a time that's ageless
In  between  us lies  the calm before a storm that rages
Thought  we were related
Couldn't  be separated
Tried  to  get ahead but  only got decapitated
I  don't get what you  want
Don't  know what's the matter, trying  to hang around
If  I don't get what  I need
Stuck  up on a ladder, scared  of coming down
We  will become oblivious  to the obvious
Just  dysfunctional
Shut down
Shut down
Shut  down
 x2
 hit  x4
When  I can't get keep from  getting down
Looking  for a ladder, scared  of coming down
And  I grow tired of  hanging 'round
Don't  know what's the matter, trying  to hang around
I  become invisible, unlivable
Just  dysfunctional
Shut down
Shut down
Shut  down
