Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I hope I see you on your way down.
I hope you break every bone.
I hope it kills you on your down.
And I hope you die alone.
Pre-Chorus 1:
All of your hate, and all of your lies. Will it be worth it?
When all of your friends refuse to be alibi's, will it be worth it?
Chorus 1:
I'll see you on your way down. (3x)
Verse 2:
It's kind of sad to watch you break down.
You greedy fuck, you pissed it all away.
So who will catch you on your way down?
You've only got yourself to blame.
Pre-Chorus 2:
When all your worst fears materialize, will it be worth it?
There's nobody left who cares you're alive; was it worth it?
Chorus 2:
I'll see you on your way down. (3x)
Bridge/Break:
Way down...
Way down...
Chorus 3:
I'll see you on your way down. (3x)

| On second thought, it can be inferred that this song is targeting a criminal of some kind. This is hinted by the word "alibis", which is used in judicial contexts. Greed is also the cause of many crimes. I dunno, but it may fit in somewhere. | |

| this is one of the only songs that I can actually formulate a music video to... it should be the band, playing in a room that's on fire, or something of the sort, and chris hall, after getting into a yelling match with someone, walking around on the sidewalk on a snowy day. during the verse it shows chris walking, and the chorus it has the band playing..and eventually chris joins the band ((somewhere near the end chorus)).. to bad they won't ever make any more music videos...=( | |
