Figure it out

I've got this friend, he's got me worried
He's heading for the bottom and hoping to bounce
I tried to talk, he tried to listen,
Maybe should have tried the other way round
We've got to figure this out

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, no in just don't understand you
Things must look different through thick green glass
If I could just reach in to you and choke what's got a hold on your insides
I guess we've still not figured this out

You bite the bitter berry poison
Try and match the outside with the in
I sometimes think you're trying to empty out your being
To find the place your demons begin
We've got to figure this out

Your stumbling feet won't carry you
Where anyone wants to be
I cannot carry you, I cannot make you free
I cannot break the chains
that bind you to the tracks
I cannot keep you safe,
I cannot hold you back
You've got to figure this out
