lyrics

i took a deal with a devil's advocate
thinking i would keep one step ahead
he promised it'd be cool if i were constantly
spinning my wheels out, running on empty

now listen closely
he said to me

don't ever put your head down, and you'll be alright

but when i'm grounded in my body with the breaths that i take
it only serves to remind me of everything i hate
whether it's the ringing in my ears or any other sound
i get the same metallic taste in my mouth

if i'm good for something
why do i feel like less than nothing?

don't ever put your head down, and you'll be alright
well i never put my head down, and i'm not alright

don't ever put your head down
