Dragging Me Down Lyrics

If we only knew

How many suffer in silence

Hiding behind fake smiles

Begging for guidance

Can't numb the pain

For fear I'll go insane

Battles from within

Alerts the next of kin

Words left unsaid

Leaves you scarred and left for dead

A tightness in my chest

A shortness of breath

Will I ever be enough

And will I ever break the cycle

Cries of domineer

Fall on deafened ears

A day of reckoning will come

For those who want

To lay waste

To lay waste

To this oppressive state

For those who want

To lay waste

To this oppressive state

Call it a checkmate Oh

I will break these chains

That drag me down Oh

What lies in wait is what got me here

We must not drown

And I will break these chains

That bind me down Oh

What lies in wait is what got me here

We won't back down

My shackles are broken

No longer bound

You will here me

For my screams echo loud

I was too afraid too weak

To speak up and be heard

But now I know what a voice I will be

I'm searching for truth

Lend me the strength

So I may unleash

The anguish

That fuels the fires

To transcend higher Go

Don't faulter alter fate

Before it's too late

And from the ashes we will rise

Like the Phoenix

It was all in my head

The consequences of my own actions

The dissatisfaction

All the tears I've shed

Feeling left for dead

The whispers and lies

Tales of deceit

The bittersweet memories

These voices will not take me

Without a fight

I will break these chains

That drag me down Oh

What lies in wait is what got me here

We must not drown

And I will break these chains

That bind me down Oh

What lies in wait is what got me here

We won't back down

I am finally free

To be the person I was always meant to be

With my head held high

Reaching towards the sky

I am free

To just be
