Farther Down

from A Jester's Life by ernie c ernst

lyrics

you say everything's fine, but it ain't
you'd like me to believe, but i can't
you've been living in the dark
you've been swimming with the sharks
and you're falling farther down
falling farther down

i guess some of the blame should fall on me
i guess this is something i should have seen
you ain't asking for no help
but you're singing to yourself
and you're falling farther down
falling farther down

i cry for you still
don't know why, i guess i always will
can you even lift your head to the light
i can't say i'm sorry anymore
words get in the way of every open door
everything went wrong, but you can still get right

it's a long way down that crooked mile
but if you just keep looking, you'll find your smile
i can offer you my hand
and though it's not the way we planned
i can keep you from falling farther down
falling farther down

i cry for you still
don't know why, i guess i always will
can you even lift your head to the light
i can't say i'm sorry anymore
words get in the way of every open door
everything went wrong, but you can still get right

you say everything’s fine
