Breakdown

Break down

Break down

Huh

She had nobody, she broke and got no money

No sunny days have been coming, it's dark, bloody, and muddy

She cries and prays to God that she dies

'Cause she's becoming the evil that she been running away from, the numbing

It got her and now she's somebody's mother and someone's daughter

The days are getting harder, the devil gave her a collar

The drugs, they don't define her but they all she got to help

Getting high is the only way to keep from coming down

My hands are holding up my face, under my skin you been crawling

Saw my reflection and I knew then, I just looked at my problem

Inside my cage I hold the key to set me free but I've fallen

I break down

He goes to work but he's so drained

Goes to bed and he can't sleep

But it's not from the cocaine

Thinking back to the old days when things were better

Can't help but wonder if he'll be stuck in this trap forever

No time, no energy for love, born for the grave

Worked to death, like a Percocet, the sovereign they save

Life feels impossible, used to feel so unstoppable

He knows whether he likes it or not, he's just a modern-day slave

My hands are holding up my face, under my skin you been crawling

Saw my reflection and I knew then, I just looked at my problem

Inside my cage I hold the key to set me free but I've fallen

I break down

You keep on working, it won't budge

Ya fold up, pushing passed your limits

Grown up broke, your bones crushed

Froze up from the emotional cold front

Keep on going through the roller coaster of life like, "So what?"

They separate us and break us to penetrate us

Break our spirit and make us fear 'em

So we enter cages to protect us from who?

Protect us from them!

See that smile? They are not your friend

They been plotting on us

My hands are holding up my face, under my skin you been crawling

Saw my reflection and I knew then, I just looked at my problem

Inside my cage I hold the key to set me free but I've fallen

I break down

Break down
