Just another night of slipping into the black
Every inch I've gained, you've taken back
All of this time I've tried to break free
But look at where it's gotten me, I'm only slipping further

Pulling me down
Dragging me down
Shoving me down
I don't want to go

I'm locking my legs I won't go this time
You can't make me move
After all, I've only got what's left to lose
You've got nothing to use against me
Only your corrupted sense of authority

Pulling me down
Dragging me down
Shoving me down
I don't want to go

If I could just catch my breath
Stop drowning in you
Will you give me shelter?
Or take me under?

Here I go down the hole once again
Do you have no mercy, no humanity?
Will these chains one day be severed,
Or am I trapped forever, condemned forever?

Pulling me down
Dragging me down
Shoving me down
I don't want to go

Pulling me down
Dragging me down
Shoving me down
Please don't make me go
