Cut off the water Can't breathe anymore A lot to hold, a lot to say Could it be any other way Couldn't last an hour Without suffer or pain Dragged through the part that Fraught with shame to face another day I was told under duress I will never sign the check I would never wanna lay Down and die in front of them You've gone back on your word Too many times Tell me how are you alive I'm not fond of speaking my mind But I might come out swimming this time I know you're looking for a fight I know you think you're always right I know there is no way to make it out alive Don't seem to understand I'm not that kind of man Another time or place I'd walk away Away, away, away I was told under duress I will never sign the check I would never wanna lay Down and die in front of them I dragged the chase from the ground No I won't hang around And let myself be bound I rip my way through the floor I never needed a door I cut my way through the best The water's cold My heart is always I gotta run free, I gotta be me I'm gonna see what I wanna be For the stakes that are low In a while Stick around Watch the sun go down (go down) And tell your mind, that it's fine I feel free Feel the ground as your wave crashes down Settle down, all around I was told under duress I will never sign the check I would never wanna lay Down and die in front of them
