I've been living downtown since they raised the gate
I'm gonna work myself to death at this rate
I've been sleeping so bad all I see is gray
I'm gonna lose my mind running at this pace
I've been chasing down thoughts like suicide
I've been selling this life: such a lie
I'm gonna turn it off
I've gotta turn it off
I'm gonna bring this darkness into the light
I'm gonna turn the sunshine into the night
I'm gonna turn it off
I've gotta turn it off
I've been playing downtown since they changed the game
I'm gonna drink myself to death at this rate
I've been sticking around just by shifting blame
I'm gonna lose my life running from this place
I've been chasing down thoughts like suicide
I've been selling this life: such a lie
I'm gonna turn it off
I've gotta turn it off
I'm gonna bring this darkness into the light
I'm gonna turn the sunshine into the night
I'm gonna turn it off
I've gotta turn it off
I've been chasing bad thoughts I can't deny
I've been hearing this voice coming down from the sky
I've gotta turn it off
I've gotta turn it off
I'm gonna turn the darkness into the light
I'm gonna take this sunshine into the night
I'm gonna turn it on
I'm gonna turn it on
