Another one for the mold,
you're the cause of this,
you're the common cold.
So why would you ask me to stay if I'm stuck forever anyway?
I did my time,
It left a tattoo on my mind,
of that night when you,
finally crossed the line.
Separated from,
the guilt of what you've done.
I've finally found my place,
It's with my back against the wall,
you hold me down,
you never had my back at all,
you hold me down,
and yet my feet barely touch the ground.
Step back and fall in line,
it's a bitter end to a great decline,
a chance at joy in a crowded room,
is all I ever really knew.
I wanna be as happy as a dog in a car,
but you hold me down.
