You’re Gonna Have To Kill Me

I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die
I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die
I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die

I'm not dumb enough to let you win
I also didn't know there's a competition
Though you took away more than your money could ever buy
You're gonna have to kill me, before I lay down and die

Some things oughta be saved
Projection often paves the way
That takes so much functionality, it's barely leaving I's
You're gonna have to kill me, before I lay down and die

I didn't have the fight in me
And fighting isn't fun but we can't agree
Yet I know myself better than you know most of your lies
You're gonna have to kill me, before I lay down and die

Why would I even lay down at all?
I was clearly stand-up from day one
Be careful what you're fighting for
Because there's a few battles coming that you'll wish that you never won

No one oughta have to say this
No one should ever have to think this but
If it's all that's between you, and going towards the fucking light?
Just say "you're gonna have to kill me, before I lay down and die"

'Cause if you think you're worth saving you are
And if you think you aren't worth it you're wrong
But there's gonna be some people and some places and things to remind
You're gonna have to kill me, before I lay down and die

Besides? If you think I'm gonna give up, you ain't met me
No matter the strength or the nobility
Pretend that you're amazing and you are at many times
Lay down your burdens on me until I'm paralyzed
Set up an empath to get the self-esteem that passed you by
Confuse them "which feelings yours and which ones mine?"
Take the meds and the food that we need to stay alive
Just to prove that you want me to stay alive
And reject the evidence of your very own ears
Your ears and eyes?
You're gonna have to kill me, before I lay down and die

I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die
I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die
I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die
(I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die)
(I won't lay down, I won't lay down and die)
(I won't lay down, I won't lay down...)
