The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
Push the colors from the make up
Drop your feelings at the door
Has anybody here had enough
Walking in on so much more
Gonna make you give up
I wanna see you get up
I said you're the only one, I said
What's your name
Who do you love
I wanna hate you, kill you
Treat you like I've had enough
What's your name (What's your name?)
Who do you love (Who do you love?)
I wanna hate you, kill you
Treat you like I've had enough
Gonna make you give up
I said you're the only one
I said you're the only one
I said you're the only one, I said
Keep breaking the shame
Take away what I wanna say
Regretting the day
You don't believe in me,
You don't believe in me
I'll show you just what you wanna see
The end in me
Push the colors from the make up
Drop your feelings at the door
Has anybody here had enough
Walking in on so much more
Gonna make you give up
I wanna see you get up
Come on people, get up
What's your name (What's your name?)
Who do you love (Who do you love?)
I wanna hate you, kill you
Treat you like I've had enough
The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
The shadow within me
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
(What's your name) The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet,
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
(Who do you love) The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet,
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
(What's your name) The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet,
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
I said, keep breaking the shame
Take away what I wanna say
Regretting the day
You don't believe in me,
You don't believe in me
I'll show you just what you wanna see
The end in me
The sorrow at my feet
Push the colors from the make up
Drop your feelings at the door
Has anybody here had enough
Walking in on so much more
Gonna make you give up
I wanna see you get up
I said you're the only one, I said
What's your name
Who do you love
I wanna hate you, kill you
Treat you like I've had enough
What's your name (What's your name?)
Who do you love (Who do you love?)
I wanna hate you, kill you
Treat you like I've had enough
Gonna make you give up
I said you're the only one
I said you're the only one
I said you're the only one, I said
Keep breaking the shame
Take away what I wanna say
Regretting the day
You don't believe in me,
You don't believe in me
I'll show you just what you wanna see
The end in me
Push the colors from the make up
Drop your feelings at the door
Has anybody here had enough
Walking in on so much more
Gonna make you give up
I wanna see you get up
Come on people, get up
What's your name (What's your name?)
Who do you love (Who do you love?)
I wanna hate you, kill you
Treat you like I've had enough
The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
The shadow within me
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
(What's your name) The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet,
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
(Who do you love) The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet,
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
(What's your name) The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet,
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
I said, keep breaking the shame
Take away what I wanna say
Regretting the day
You don't believe in me,
You don't believe in me
I'll show you just what you wanna see
The end in me

Whether it's a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, family member, husband/wife...it could really be any of those. They're always bringing you down and Mushroomhead are saying "get up" and "lead the revival" but it's never simple.
Has anybody here had enough?
Walking in on so much more...
Gonna lead a revival
No simple survival
I think this song is about NOT simpling moving on with a life that's only about going one day to the next. He is saying he wants to find more meaning then just simple survival. He wants to prove something.
12Monkeys and YourNameHere117 your just dumb cus your just being a much of dicks and give Mushromhead a bad name
I think the song is about the simple survival
That is the point of the whole album really, even looking at the title of the album - The Band currently didn't die because JMann isn't in it.
What is debatable is whether the new sounds and such are better or worse than the old material. I personally prefer JMann and the albums they made with him, but this is partly because I have a bias against Waylon's voice sound - Its too "Emo-Crap"ish of a voice for me...
Don't ask me how I wrote "currently" instead.
