Collin Kravis - Down Lyrics

You forgot when you bought security
To check over your shoulder
Your glassy eyes, pharmaceutical mind
The world is cloudy forever
And it's clear by the look on your face
You've made a grave mistake
Something's getting lost and muddled
Some days it works better than others

And all the prophets sing their siren song
"Have you been to see me lately?
I curl up in a little ball when you're gone
So don't leave me waiting, waiting"

We'll cut you down where you belong

"What if we don't need you any more?"
It wouldn't matter if you tried it
"How'd you get to be so self assured?"
You've been living on my island
All the help in the world won't mean anything now
Because we know who you are and we know what you do
Sayin': We will cut you down to the size you belong
To the size you belong

Don't pretend
You're so ashamed
When that's your face
Beside your name
The rotten deal
As advertised
Was what you chose
You paid full price

Someday we may get our freedom back
But for now it makes us nervous
Dropping screens and safety in our lap
Such a lovely, darling service
Choirs of angels sing along with the hymn
Yes we know who you are and we know where you've been
Singin': We will cut you down to the size you belong

It doesn't matter if you slip through the cracks, so long as we've got your money
