We're taken alive
Holding on to a shallow wall
Shaking off the will to die alone
Tied and tethered down

We scratch out the eyes of our demons in the darkest rooms
On the way to hell and back too soon
Trying to keep from dropping down

I must own everything you bred in me
I must own everything I've come to be
You'd think I'd know how to keep from dropping down

Stay low until collected
Get upright when all is rejected
Another breath, another step to get out

I can't depend on my mind
Can't depend on sleepless nights too far away from a loved one's light
It's hard to keep from dropping down

I must own everything you've bred in me
I must own everything I've come to be
You'd think I'd know how to keep from dropping down

Stay low until collected
Get upright when all is rejected
Another breath, another step to get out
I don't know when this darkness hollowed me
I awoke scattered deep in dust
I don't know when this blackout swallowed me
I don't know why I have this blood
Damn the toll it takes

Stay low until collected
Get upright when all is rejected
Another breath, another step to get out
