lyrics

I started as we all must, a mote of dust in a storm
Awaiting a moment’s calm to settle on the earth
And I perceived a sorrow before I knew the cause
Before I knew anything or thought to ask why
I recognised the wound before I felt the sting
And I want you to know I see the hand beneath the glove
The world was made for fools and parasites and kings
And they will do anything to keep us in the mud

But you won’t break me
You won’t bring me down
You won’t break me
You won’t bring me down
You’ve been taking
But you’ve had enough

There’s nothing left to give
There’s nothing left to give
There’s nothing left to give

They branded you pariah, persona non grata
And you were taught every day that solitude’s a curse
They tried to douse your fire, to sow doubt in your heart
They smothered your dreams in oil and watched your spirits burn
You were just a tool; they built cities on your back
And when they were done they turned around and closed the doors
Now they sit there in their towers, hide behind their masks
And no matter how much they use they always want more

But you won’t break me
You won’t bring me down
You won’t break me
You won’t bring me down
You’ve been taking
But you’ve had enough

There’s nothing left to give
There’s nothing left to give
There’s nothing left to give

There’s nothing left to give
There’s nothing left to give
There’s nothing left to give
