At the bottom you set it down
from the top I counted you out
cascading, the end draws near
these rail lines, drown in fear
in the dark days, hunger's free
illumination, end with greed
drag your feet, and strung along
fight back, until you're gone
chorus:
This tunnel vision breaks my mind
dark days leave this world behind
humiliation takes it's toll
proud hope stands tall
