Straight Down

You know I'm falling straight down

Here I thought I was rising, space bound

even as crazy as that may sound

Seeing as I'm laying here on the ground

Now they're saying that I'm pathetic

now they're saying that I'm a waste of talent

 

What do they even know

Group me with kids that I don't even know

Don't know why I keep on thinking I gotta change

like this is my life, your fucking deranged

It's not your place to tell me who I am

It's up to me, I won't follow your plan

I come complete, stop hammering please

Don't care that you have something to say about my life

Don't care how you think what I'm doing and how it ain't right

Don't care that you have something to say about my life

Don't care how you think what I'm doing and how it ain't right

You don't even know what I've been going through

But I hope that maybe some of these words will speak to you

And than maybe the next time that I get reviewed

well, maybe you'll see that I'm a human too

 

You know I'm falling straight down

Here I thought I was rising, space bound

even as crazy as that may sound

Seeing as I'm laying here on the ground

Now they're saying that I'm pathetic

now they're saying that I'm a waste of talent

 

And I know that I'm not alone

You're judging me, and everyone else on the bottom row

As we all struggle to make the dough

doing what we love, cause there's nothing else we know

I know it's not what you had planned for us but

back the fuck up, we won't just adjust

Don't care that you have something to say about my life

Don't care how you think what I'm doing and how it ain't right

Don't care that you have something to say about our lives

Don't care how you think what we're doing and how it ain't right

We're gonna do it anyways, no matter what you says

We'll challenge you in the back of alleyways

Think you can take command of us, no fucking way

Don't try that any day

And maybe the next time you think you can

Remember, I'm not alone where I stand

 

You know we're falling straight down

Here I thought we were rising, space bound

even as crazy as that may sound

Seeing as we're laying here on the ground

Now they're saying that we're pathetic

now they're saying that we're a waste of talent
