Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my head Every day I lose some leverage Every day I'm giving in Like a rat afraid to take a step Living in fear of breaking my own neck This is where the panic sets in First world paranoia of blood that won't thicken I keep bending my chains but they just won't give In a world where your paycheck says how much you can live Knives in your back from the hands of your brothers Days into weeks, years into nothing We need to break out I won't be held down We need to break out I won't be held down
