Take me down To the ground Just let me feel it If I let someone down Please welcome Him on the losing side I shake you off And make my choice Don't want to hear you Your slimy voice Please go down, please I don't want to feel you around me Take me down to a higher ground To survive your mindless sound If you know all the people Why are you alone? If you know all the people You'll be goin' down I feel that man On my back Don't promise any crap Someone will break your neck You don't know how To soak my soul Let me out Let me go Open your eyes You told nothing but lies Please go down, please c'mon, go down with your ego Take me down to a higher ground To survive your mindless sound If you know all the people Why are you alone? If you know all the people You'll be goin' down Let me go ahead, let me go [SOLO] I will find an explanation Where's my only destination Separated ways now and forever Is the only and only measure Tales full of exaggerations No more manipulations And I think you are not funny Your brain is just a bloated dummy Take me down to a higher ground To survive your mindless sound If you know all the people Why are you alone? If you know all the people You'll be goin' down
