Lyrics
Torn, overrun, I could almost feel the feet that had just trampled me
I was beaten down, Made out the fool
Made to feel I was to blame for all my tragedies
And you laughed at me
But I will not stay down and I will not play dead
Though you torture me for the contents of my head
And I will speak these words of truth
Cause that is all that Ive got left, All that Ive got left
So take this heart and tear it apart
Until you find the piece that you were looking for
Is it dark and wet, did you win the bet
You are worse than what Ive seen from any government
And you laugh like a digital clown
Youve got poisonous seeds and a head full of weeds
Youve got everything you need to rewrite history
But it aint enough, Oh yeah, but youre tough
You can put anyone you want out of your misery
And when you do it you smile
But I will not stay down and I will not play dead
Though you torture me for the contents of my head
And I will speak these words of truth
Cause that is all that Ive got left
You made damn sure I aint got nothing else left
Time is locked up inside
And I am caught in the reflection of your alibi
Is there something more
Will you slam the door
Will you be there when I take the stand and testify
Cause I will not stay down and I will not play dead
Though you torture me for the thoughts I keep inside my head
Better think again, do you think you can win in the end
And even if you did what would you get but a world of emptiness
And I will not stay down, no I will not play dead
Even though you take the plants and the car and the cats and the dogs
And the cups and the plates and the chair and the couch and the bed
I dont care what you said
Id rather live alone in a cell than in a pocket of hell
Where everybody has to tiptoe around and bow down in front of you
So go ahead and tell yourself that youre justified in Gods own eyes
But you know the truth
And its all that Ive got left, Its all that Ive got left
Yes its all that Ive got left, Its all that Ive got left
