[Verse 1]
Dreams, like coins down a well
Till I realized I was dumb for believing
To the bird with no flight
The skies don't ever offer respite
So I wandered off
And went to fill the halls in my shadow
But everything costs
Proof was etched into the backs of my hands
[Bridge]
I heard you say that you'd lost, you'd lost, you'd lost, you'd lost your way
But I don't think you had much to lose
That house was never built for you
[Chorus]
And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them
And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth with sin
And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
You were just something they'd blame
[Verse 2]
Face, pressed into your hands
Couldn't tell if you were crying or laughing
They both sound the same
When you ain't got no skin in the game
So I took up the fight
And the roaring in my head was like thunder
Until I uncurled my fists
And allowed myself to not give a damn
[Bridge]
I heard you say that we'd lost, we'd lost, we'd lost, we'd lost our way
But I don't think we had much to lose
That path was never built for us
[Chorus]
And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them
And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth with sin
And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
We were just something they'd blame
