about

Written in 1992 just as Skin Yard was winding down, and recorded with Pat and Barrett from Skin Yard.

lyrics

Hey, the insights
I promise to tell you whatever they said that they'd say
Say, the insides
I promise to tell you whatever they tell me to say
Sitting on top 'til the bottom drops out
Watch as we come up for air
Lifting the paper we see the design
Ask me now why it seems fair

Try to find versions that say what we want
Rationalize how we feel
Steeling ourselves to ignore what we see
Telling ourselves it's not real
You are the reason I'm standing out here
Maybe you're too drunk to care
Turning the page we can see the design
Wonder if we can be spared

(Chorus) Hey, it's not going down too well
Yeah, it's not going down too well
It's not going down
It's killing me, I can tell
Hey, it's burning my insides
It's not going down too well
It's not going down too well
It's not going down
It's killing me, I can tell

Hey - I'm so tired
I keep asking questions and only I get glassy stares
I don't know the answer keep telling myself
That's no excuse for despair
Don't want you to tell me what's wrong and what's right
There's no way that that could be fair
I wish I could say I'm a better man now
Ask me to help you but I don't know how
Try to pretend you still care
Just try to pretend you still care
