I always try to make it right
But I keep coming short
Can't seem to see why change is fine
When change crushes my hope

My ten toes up turned six feet down and about
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
And I can't seem to figure out

Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down

The ones that I'd expect to try and understand me don't
Know I could be better off worse in the end
Than unhappy in what they want

But my ten toes up turned six feet down and about
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
And I can't seem to figure out

Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down

But what if I can't avoid that life?
Every second it keeps creeping closer, closer
What if I can't keep all I've tried?
I'm going down, down, down

Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down
Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down
