lyrics

This won't hold us down forever

Reality sank in
Or rather hit me in the gut
Worse than the time we all realized
The house on Inwood Street was gone
I'm finally coming to grips
That cause and effect is all about consequences
And admitting I was wrong
This time I jumped in the fire
You can guess that I got burned
I believe in the common deceit
Self control seems like the simplest thing

This won't hold us down forever
Cuz everything breaks in time
Even the weight on our backs
You know what we're able to bear
We find ourselves disappointed and let down
This won't hold us down forever

Who needs critics when I beat myself up daily
When I'm down I stay there for awhile
But then I get up
And straighten my back
And dust myself off
And all the scars I have I've earned them

This won't hold us down forever
Cuz everything breaks in time
Even the weight on our backs
You know what we're able to bear
We find ourselves disappointed and let down
This won't hold us down forever

I'm aware of my mortality
And honestly
I wish it scared the "Hell" out of me
I can look at my hands and see
A past that haunts
And potential that's waiting for me

This won't hold us down forever
Cuz everything breaks in time
Even the weight on our backs
You know what we're able to bear
We find ourselves disappointed and let down
This won't hold us down forever
