lyrics
Down on my knees
Panic bleeds beneath my nails
They kicked me over, kept me down, nailed to the ground
Please don't make me beat my needs
And kick you over, keep you down, nailed to the ground
Teardrop, won't stop, needles in my brain
Backstab, mind trap, it will be in vain
Nothing I can take, I can take it no longer
Long enough to fake, exceeding the hunger
I'm down on my knees, but I ain't gonna pray
Now you think that I will tamely supply and fulfill your needs to survive
But scattered stones will re-oppose, even though . . .
Seized for all this time
Up until they realize
That they need a faith so strong
To shake it off
Teardrop, won't stop, needles in my brain
Backstab, mind trap, but it will be in vain
Nothing I can take, I can take it no longer
Long enough to fake, exceeding the hunger
I'm down on my knees, but I ain't gonna pray
Nothing I could take, I could take it no longer
Long enough to fake, exceeded the hunger
Down on my knees, but I'll never pray
