Pull Me Down

You're pulling me down Ripped off and broken my once gleaming crown My fingers are digging deep into the ground I'm trying to stop you from pulling me down Innocence is gone Can't go back again I try to stop it but my words fall like tears into the ground Absorbed, lost, and never again found My walls are prison bars My soul cries for liberation You pull me down But you still want me around Do you realize you've made us prisoners We all talk about how we're gonna get out Getting out It's all we think about We talk about the places to go and the things we could do We'd live in peace without you Don't realize what you've done We were like a glass wall and you cracked it There's too many cracks in the glass wall We're heading for a crashing fall We know it's about to shatter but that's gonna have to wait For now you just pull me down My fingers try to grip the ground but it's a worthless effort Cause you're pulling me six feet into the ground Do what you do Fight me for no reason at all Walk away standing tall Smiling cause you made me fall
