It builds inside of me
A darkness gathering
This slowly timed release
At wide eyed innocence
Break through the nadir
Façade it disappears
This built up effigy
Crashing around me

Down, down, down cut me down
Down, down, down cut me down
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down,
down you cut me

The anger dissipates
Replaced by burning hate
A shiver down the spine
Fight to stay in line
A blue that never ends
I feel I’ve got to bend
It takes what’s left of me
I forgot to be

Down, down, down cut me down
Down, down, down cut me down
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down,
down you cut me

So fuel your hatred
Hide away
The line of pain is
The reason you must pay

Down, down, down cut me down
Down, down, down cut me down
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down,
down you cut me
