Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Shinedown - Atmosphere ------------------------------------------ Once I had a halo But then it caught on fire Once I knew a good man But he turned into a liar Once I saw a blind man Still looking for his eyes Once I met a bastard Who watched his father die And now, I'll tell you how I know them all I'm looking down on the atmosphere I took my number, and I waited in line I'm not frail from the exposure I'm taking pictures with my mind I'm looking down on the atmosphere I took my number, and I waited in line I'm not frail from the exposure I'm taking pictures with my mind Once I met a leader Born from genocide Once I knew a preacher To his grave, he said goodbye Once I met a good girl Who shows her face no more It's hard to learn your lesson When you become the whole world's whore And now, I'll tell you how I know them all I'm looking down on the atmosphere I took my number, and I waited in line I'm not frail from the exposure I'm taking pictures with my mind I'm looking down on the atmosphere I took my number, and I waited in line I'm not frail from the exposure I'm taking pictures with my mind I'm looking down on the atmosphere I'm looking down on the atmosphere I know them all... And now, I'll tell you how I know them all Looking down on the atmosphere Looking down on the atmosphere I took my number, and I wait in line I'm looking down on the atmosphere
