I always try to make it right

But I keep coming short

Can't seem to see why change is fine

When change crushes my hope

My ten toes up turned six feet down and about

To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt

In myself and in faith, every word is in vain

And I can't seem to figure out

Why am I still working

If it's just choking away my light?

Why do I still fight for my dreams?

When all that I've seen is dwindling

Down, down, down

The ones that I'd expect to try and understand me don't

Know I could be better off worse in the end

Than unhappy in what they want

But my ten toes up turned six feet down and about

To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt

In myself and in faith, every word is in vain

And I can't seem to figure out

Why am I still working

If it's just choking away my light?

Why do I still fight for my dreams?

When all that I've seen is dwindling

Down, down, down

But what if I can't avoid that life?

Every second it keeps creeping closer, closer

What if I can't keep all I've tried?

I'm going down, down, down

Why am I still working

If it's just choking away my light?

Why do I still fight for my dreams?

When all that I've seen is dwindling

Down, down, down

Why am I still working

If it's just choking away my light?

Why do I still fight for my dreams?

When all that I've seen is dwindling

Down, down, down
