If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?

Though I'm closer to wrong, I'm no further from right

And now I'm convinced on the inside, something's wrong with me

Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me (Yeah)

No, there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie

But I'm tryin' to keep my intentions disguised

And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give

Deprived of my conscience, this all belongs to me (Yeah)

I'm beaten down again, I belong to them

Beaten down again, I've failed you

I'm weaker now, my friend, I belong to them

Beaten down again, I've failed you

The deception you show is your own parasite

Just a word of advice you can heed if you like

And now I'm convinced on the inside, something's wrong with me

Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me (Yeah)

I'm beaten down again, I belong to them

Beaten down again, I've failed you

I'm weaker now, my friend, I belong to them

Beaten down again, I've failed you

I'm beaten down again, I belong to them

Beaten down again, I've failed you

I'm weaker now, my friend, I belong to them

Beaten down again, I've failed you

I'm beaten down

I'm beaten down

I'm beaten down

I'm beaten down

Yeah!
