I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine

I was given a name that doesn't feel like it's mine

Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be

Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me.

Sold my soul, broke my bones,

Tell me, what did I get?

Did my time, toed the line

Ain't seen anything yet.

Strike me down to the ground

You know I've seen it before

Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt

I just don't care anymore.

How could you break my heart?

Already played my part

I kept my promise man

Show me the promiseland.

Don't occupy my throne

Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how

Look at me now.

I've got no money in my pocket

And the whole world's bringing me down

And the whole world's bringing me down.

One person's life's just another man's truth

We got done running from the devil, but the devil was you

Every time I see the light, I'm falling deeper in debt

If I've never seen the good, how can it come to an end?

Sold my soul, broke my bones,

Tell me, what did I get?

Did my time, toed the line

Ain't seen anything yet.

Strike me down to the ground

You know I've seen it before

Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt

I just don't care anymore.

How could you break my heart?

Already played my part

I kept my promise man

Show me the promiseland.

Don't occupy my throne

Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how

Look at me now.

I've got no money in my pocket

And the whole world's bringing me down

And the whole world's bringing me down.

And the whole world's bring me down.

How could you break my heart?

Already played my part

I kept my promise man

Show me the promiseland.

Don't occupy my throne

Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how

Look at me now.
