Hold Me Down

I can't tell no lies
 My blood's been shed
 Missing your eyes
 Your hands were red
 And my shades are drawn
 My head hung in shame
 And I might be wrong
 But it's you I blame
 And my strength is like a never-ebbing tide
 And in my weakness I can see my pride
 And I've let you beat me down
 And I'm at a loss for words and I can't speak
 So I will scream and I will scream til I get weak
 But if you kick me while I'm down
 I will quicken my resolve until your punishment is through
 But I won't be blinded by your hate, instead, I'll wait and let
 it conquer you
 I'll be stronger cause I will have survived
 What you put me through
 Hold me down
 Until I break free and I will fly
 But I won't come down
 Until I touch the highest reaches of the sky
 But hold me down
 Underwater til I can not breathe
 But I, I won't drown
 Cause I will rise up and I'll be redeemed
 My eyes straight ahead
 And my head's on straight
 I meant what I said
 I'm a new man today
 And my strength is surging like a rising tide
 And my weakness been replaced swelling pride
 And I've finally come around
 And my mouth's so full of words that I can't speak
 So I will scream and I will scream til I get weak
 But if you kick me while I'm down
 I will quicken my resolve until your punishment is through
 But I won't be blinded by your hate, instead, I'll wait and let
 it conquer you
 I'll be stronger cause I will have survived
 What you put me through
 Hold me down
 Until I break free and I will fly
 But I won't come down
 Until I touch the highest reaches of the sky
 But hold me down
 Underwater til I can not breathe
 But I, I won't drown
 Cause I will rise up and I'll be redeemed
 Hold me down
 Until I break free and I will fly
 But I won't come down
 Until I touch the highest reaches of the sky
 But hold me down
 Underwater til I can not breathe
 But I, I won't drown
 Cause I will rise up and I'll be redeemed
