Down the Rabbit Hole {Lyrics}


This song is the opener to Chasing Rabbits and is the start of the bad trip which is the album.  I don't want to talk to much about the meaning of this song because I like to leave everything up to the listener.  It is the story of a couple that have done way more than they can handle.  The first verse is the narrator's experience and the second verse is about his girl.  

Down the Rabbit Hole

..mind racing..
liquor chasing Alice into Wonderland..
steady hand, losing him to something he don't understand..
paranoia's got him thinking..everybody's following him..
pop a couple pills..take a shot of liquor..
swallow them..
dripping sweat, nervous wreck
wash it down with percocet
body rotten,oxycodine
night forgot and never found
hallucinagenic, xanax
got him a state of panic
he needs a medic
sweatin' like he's doing callisthenics
seconds feel like minutes..
minutes feel like hours..
cold shower doesn't help..
they laced it with something else..
seeing shit he's never dreamed of..
and than he opened up his mouth and he wondered where his scream was..
he knows what's happening, his veins getting colder
turned around and seen death tapping on his shoulder
body hits the ground without a sound
now its over
the death of a dream...
somebody should have told ya'

you get what you pay for
i hear death knockin' on my front door
i'm not sure what you came for
but i can't take much more {2x}

follow me down
follow me down
follow me down
down to the rabbit hole

knockin' on heaven's door
love you forever more
itchin' for a bigger dream
grab the antihistamine
chase it to erase it
consequence is what you facing
yet i'm feeling so immaculate
its Montague & Capulet
and lovely little Juliet's collapsing in the back of it
I'd have another capsule, yet its hard to keep track of it
keep talking to me baby we gon' make it thru this
but who am i to listen to?
look at what i did to you
don't wana be sedated
yet i'm easily persuaded by the jaded lifestyles of the wana be famous
and as she's gettin' cold in this story never told
I see what I've become 
I could never fit the mold
I just, followed the leader like an underachiever
now i can never leave her
baby crawl up under the speaker
hit repeat and loop it
i know we're young and we're stupid
i'll show and i'll prove it
to wake up from this moment with you..

you get what you pay for
i hear death knockin' on my front door
i'm not sure what you came for
but i can't take much more {2x}

follow me down
follow me down
follow me down
down to the rabbit hole

  1. Hi.
    I'm a huge fan of this album, and particularly of this song and the "Ballad of the man that never made it". Thanks for the lyrics, it's very helpful since I'm french and I have a little trouble getting everything you say. Hope you'll soon post one I also like a lot, "Here comes the rain".
