Lyrics[Verse]
Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed
The names can be changed but the place is still the same
I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line
Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train
One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done

[Bridge]
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me
[Outro]
