I have viewed the cracks
I have felt the rust
I have lived in the dark
And pushed away those I trust
I have seen the gray
I have felt the weight
I have lived in my own head
And sought the truth far too late
Talking myself down to push myself further
My inner voice a devious liar
You can't bring me down
No, you won't drag me down
I'm going to stand my ground
Before you grind me down
I've enjoyed the pain
I have closed the door
I have reached the downside
And reveled in the downpour
I have heard the bad
I've believed the worst
Sabotaged my own success
And fought myself as if I'm cursed
As if I'm cursed
Talking myself down to push myself further
My inner voice a devious liar
You can't bring me down
No, you won't drag me down
I'm going to stand my ground
Before you grind me down
Oh, Yeah!
I have lived without
I have ceded power
I have done myself great wrong
And failed at the final hour
I have lived within
I have watched alone
I have left myself behind
And gone to war against my own
Against my own
You can't bring me down
No, you won't drag me down
I'm going to stand my ground
Before you grind me down
Before you grind me down
No, no, no, no
You won't grind me down
You can't bring me down, wow
You can't bring me down
