You've been dragged down, drained out
they took all you had, ran it to the ground
It's just another case of manipulation
Years spent swallowed in debt
twisting and turning with no room to bend
and it all amounts to?
Self-resentment... and that breaks a home
They cut you open and I see you bleeding
(you've been exposed)
They'll get into your head and try to take control
(if you fight it)
They press your luck and I see you dreaming
(of paradise)
Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be
It's only love and hate, no in between
They make you forget that you lost everything
because they rather keep you numb and give up nothing
How can you keep your head on straight
when you know you got nothing left?
Self-resentment, self-resentment..
They cut you open and I see you bleeding
(you've been exposed)
They'll get into your head and try to take control
(if you fight it)
They press your luck and I see you dreaming
(of paradise)
Don't let them mold you into who they want us to be
How can you keep your head on straight?
Years spent swallowed in debt, no room to fucking bend
