Collapse
Under the weight
The pressure of repeated mistakes
Is this fate or merely the choices we've made?
I want you to hate me like I do
It's the only way I'll know this was wrong
Take me in
Hold me down
Calculating circumstances to play the victim
We built empires and watched them crumble
Raise walls to tear them down
Rebuild to fall again
Take the carnage from these hands
Leave the tools beneath the ground
I want you to hate me like I do
It's the only way I'll know this was wrong
Take me in
Hold me down

Hold Me Down

I am giving up everything I’ve loved
Jack of all trades, but master of none
Unwilling to accept help from anyone
Where do we go from here? Does it even matter?
Decades of tunnel vision end in lethargic shatter
This is not a metaphor
I have so many regrets
I now exist as a textbook hypocrite
Ambition gone, never good enough for anything
No longer willing to make an effort to change
There is no easy way to tell your friends and loved ones
That you’ve come to terms with giving up on all your dreams
But this is it, this is where I make my exit
I’m throwing in the towel
When I think back it makes me sick
All the years I wasted are never coming back
We’ll never know if there ever was another path
To all the friends I’ve made and lost; and the few who held it down
Thank you for bearing witness that this treefall made a sound
This is easier done than said
But I’m trying to give you a glimpse into my head
I have so many regrets
I now exist as a textbook hypocrite
I work for someone else, I keep my senses numb
I’m making peace with being no one
We had a good run
We had a good run
I have given up on everything I ever loved
