down

down,… fell by the wayside
no getting out

down,… cry me a river
dried up and dammed

the names,… can be changed
but the place,… is still the same

i am loaded, told that all’s for naught
holds me down

rise,… life is in motion
i’m stuck in line

rise,… you can’t be neutral
on a moving train

one day,… the symptoms fade
think i’ll throw,… these pills away

and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done

won’t let the light escape from me
won’t let the darkness swallow me
