Sitting outside 7AM
Heart's racing
Cause of things
On my mind
Over there across the street
And around the corner
Selling all the things
That will change my mind
And if I went ahead and
Made the choice to escape
Tell me baby
Am I really free
Cause all the palpitations
In my chest moving
So fast that
Now I can't see
Tearing up the floor
Open up the door
What I got in store
Gonna blow your mind
Go ahead and light the torch
See it from your porch
Blood is on the run
Filling sidewalk lines
Settle all the scores
Rattling the floor
Seen it all before
Why you wasting time
I'm the only of course
Searching for the source
Even when it lives
Inside my mind
Cause I feel it here
But I see it Downlow
If I don't change
Then I surely won't grow
I've lived through fear
While the powers controlled
If I don't change
Then I surely won't grow
I could tear it down
Build it up again
Show you how it feels
All in record time
Screamin while the door
Rattles back and forth
From the windy moon
Rattling the chimes
Does it feel the same
As it did before
Reminiscent of
A simpler time
Damaging control
Split apart the whole
Dig another hole
Then climb inside
I feel it here
But I see it Downlow
If I don't change
Then I surely won't grow
You can't stop fear
While it's taking control
If I don't change
Then I surely won't grow
I tried to make
Perfect sense of it all
I told you the only thing
That I've ever known
I have the same old feelings
As before
Could we recall the old way
That we thought before
I tried to make
Perfect sense of it all
And I told you the only
Thing that I've ever known
And I have that same old
Feeling as before
And now here we are again
At the stranglehold
I feel it here
(Oh I feel it here)
But I see it Downlow
(And I see it Downlow)
If I don't change
(If I can't change)
Then I surely won't grow
(Then I surely won't grow)
You can't stop fear
(You can't stop fear)
While it's taking control
(While it's taking control)
If I don't change
(If I can't change)
Then I surely won't grow
(I surely won't grow)
I feel it here
(I feel it here)
But I see it Downlow
(And I see it Downlow)
If I don't change
("If" I can't change)
Then I surely won't grow
(I surely won't grow)
You can't stop fear
(No. You can't stop fear)
While it's taking control
(While it's taking control)
If I don't change
(If I can't "change")
Then I surely won't grow
(I surely won't grow)
