Disciplined Breakdown

Written by Ed Roland

Performed by Collective Soul

I never ever can remember
All the things that go bump in the night
The quietness of devil's betrayal now hovers
And my comfort level's not quite right
Well I'd love to stay and evaluate
But my torture can't wait

It seems I, I'm losing ground
Welcome to all 
To my disciplined breakdown

I never ever can decipher
Who listens to the words I say
While I sense I'm searching
You never know who's looking
To scare my sacred thoughts away
Well I'd love to hang and chat a while
But my mind's become vile

It seems I, I'm losing ground
Welcome to all 
To my disciplined breakdown

Breakdown reality
Breakdown my ability
To get back
I wanna get it back
Breakdown honesty
Breakdown nothing left of me
From all this madness 
And all this agony

I never ever can attribute
Finding all the thoughts that sustain
Never mind the answer 
To who spreads the cancer
When the questioning "Why?" remains
Well I'd love to sit and rationalize
But my tongue's become dry

It seems I, I'm losing ground
Welcome to all 
To my disciplined breakdown
