I said the lights don't help these days
Chances are that if you're ten rows back, I can't even see your face
I been hiding in the only thing that ever made me safe
Long enough to make me addicted, turn it into my cage
Who the fuck wants to drink my wine?
Put the last up on hold, honey, I don't think I'll make it in time
This whole game's got me fakin' a smile
And tied down to the tracks I laid down, tryna gain an extra mile
This is all of me, another thorn-stem apology
Writing in the heat of the pressure, dyin' for harmony
Lost, 'til they find me with the bullet with the cross in it
Hung around my neck like somebody told me there's God in it
Yeah, I guess I got a problem with reality
And never look to heaven when the devil in me flash his teeth
That's the part of me I'm tryin' to change
And swing hard now, I'm breakin' the chains—now get away from me
I said the road's so hard and rough
Said I'm trying not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So this shovel that it digs my grave
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
What's holding me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Hey, hey, hey
From time to time, like Bryan, I'm a shell of myself
If I was a weaker man, I'd put a shell in myself
Either ballin' on a budget or fallin' on the deficit
Plenty of self-worth with no means of investin' it
The blessings get few and far between, so I'm stressin' shit
Lady Luck is celibate, she ain't fuckin' with me
Hidin' behind a habit, starts to lookin' mighty temptin'
Hurtin' behind a image; I ain't pimpin', I'm just limpin'
Tryna walk it off or walk it out, that's just what the South's about
Handlin' adversity whenever I step out the house
Whether the weather's sunny or nastier than sauerkraut
Every endeavor takes bits of faith until you left with doubt
No tears for fears, but I swear I won't shout
Kick, scream, and strain, but that ain't gon' change a thing
