Break It Down

I woke up with the weight on my back Bills in a stack, teeth in a crack Phone in my hand, bad news again Same old storm with a different name I tried to run, but the floor gave way Tried to pray, but I lost the words to say Skin on fire, nerves all thin Too many doors, no key for them But I know this pain It don’t own my name I can bleed, I can bend I can still begin Break it down Build it right One hard step At a time Break it down Stay in the fight I find the way I make it right Debt like a chain on the ankle bone Friends gone cold, I was on my own Shame in the mirror, hate in the chest Thought I was cursed, thought I’d failed the test So I cut the noise, I cut the lies Looked at the wreck with sober eyes Found the weak beam, found the rotten tie Fix what leaks, let the dead weight die No more hiding No more stone I can take this Line by line Break it down Build it right One hard step At a time Break it down Stay in the fight I find the way I make it right When the house shakes I stand close When the hell comes I expose Name the wound Then bind it tight Face the dark Then drag it to light Break it down Build it right One hard step At a time Break it down Stay in the fight I find the way I make it right Break it down I’m still alive Cut the chain And climb, climb, climb
