Lyrics
I hoped that you would change
I had hoped for a positive change from you
I said it every day
I expressed this hope daily
And I wonder if you ever really thought the same
I question if you ever shared the same thoughts
But you tightened your grip
You increased control and cut off any escape
And threw away the key
You discarded the means for me to break free
But I can't swim from the bottom with an ankle chain
I cannot rise from the depths with a restricting chain
Light as an anchor
I feel as burdened as an anchor
Weighing heavy on my mind, all your anger
Your anger occupies my thoughts heavily
I go numb to the feeling
I become emotionally numb
It's all so familiar
This situation is painfully familiar
While you watch me bleeding
You observe me suffering
I've got to see clearer
I need clarity in understanding
You can try to take me down
You can attempt to bring me down
And drag me underground
And pull me into a negative situation
I won't listen to another fucking roundabout
I refuse to endure another evasive conversation
No, it's not hard to say
No, it's not difficult to express
I'll watch you suffocate
I will witness you struggling
You can fall onto your knees and pull your own deadweight
You must bear the consequences of your actions
GO
GO (possibly indicating a change in the song's intensity)
Defying gravity for inhumanity
Resisting the natural order for cruelty
And your burden on my back is such depravity
Your burdens imposed on me are morally wrong
But you can't help yourself
You can't resist your destructive tendencies
Because you know you're weak
You acknowledge your vulnerability
I'll spit it right back in your face because you've earned your keep
I will confront you with the consequences you deserve
You can try to take me down
You can attempt to bring me down
And drag me underground
And pull me into a negative situation
I won't listen to another fucking roundabout
I refuse to endure another evasive conversation
No, it's not hard to say
No, it's not difficult to express
I'll watch you suffocate
I will witness you struggling
You can fall onto your knees and pull your own deadweight
You must bear the consequences of your actions
You have lost your power and authority
You have lost control and influence
Reaping all that you have sewn for your own tradgedy
You are facing the negative outcomes of your choices
Now that I finally see that you're the enemy
I now recognize you as the adversary
The only weight I'll pull is your cold dead body
I will only carry the burden of your lifeless body
Yeah
Yeah (possibly emphasizing the intensity of the previous statement)
Cold dead body
Emphasizing the lifelessness of the body
You can try to take me down
You can attempt to bring me down
And drag me underground
And pull me into a negative situation
I won't listen to another fucking roundabout
I refuse to endure another evasive conversation
No, it's not hard to say
No, it's not difficult to express
I'll watch you suffocate
I will witness you struggling
You can fall onto your knees and pull your own deadweight
You must bear the consequences of your actions
GO
GO (possibly indicating a repeated change in intensity)
