lyrics

Found myself in another town
A kinda one light one life piece of the ground
Not really lookin’ to settle down
Just wanna rest for a while
Just let me rest for a while
Found a bar and I was sippin’ wine
When a pair of snake eyes started looking at mine
He came to me with a crooked smile
And said stay for a while
“Why don’t you stay for a while”

I don’t know what you think you know
But I’ve been fighting with my ghosts
They try to tell me there’s no hope
They say I’m all alone
But they’re not…

Breaking me breaking me

Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging

Shaking me shaking me

They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe

But I’m so close to

Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’

He turned to me with that reptile grin
And said “no matter what you do
You know you’ll never win
It’s not a warning it’s a promise child
I’ve been around for a while
I’ve been around for a while”
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But let me tell you what I know
There’s a place far down below
Calling you back home
But they’re not

Breaking me breaking me

Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging

Shaking me shaking me

They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe

But I’m so close to

Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’

Knock me down and I'll come up swingin'

Breaking me breaking me

Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging

Shaking me shaking me

They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe

But I’m so close to

Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’

Breaking me breaking me
Shaking me shaking me

I can barely breathe

But I’m so close to

Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
