Lyrics

I'm Not Down

Maybe run with a switch blade team
Dream of commanding an army
Dream of being damage free
Sun and breeze, please, comfort me

If you wanna be alone right now
Then you should be alone right now
Shimmer all, you kiss the wall
Shimmer all, we hit the wall

Battlefield never goes away
We're so brave when we're in pain
Maybe you're sad and that's ok
Maybe you're real, maybe you're afraid
Nobody cares when a line gets crossed
Nobody cares when a life gets lost
And lives do get lost
We gotta look out for each other

I wanna be alone for a while
Buried alive in a quiet time
I wanna be in pain right now
I wanna be in pain right now

We weren't weak, we were strong
But we're gone, we're just gone
Crying, crying, crying, crying
We gotta look out for each other

Battlefield never goes away
We're so brave when we're in pain
Maybe you're sad and that's ok
Maybe you're real, maybe you're afraid
Nobody cares when a line gets crossed
Nobody cares when a life gets lost
And lives do get lost
We gotta look out for each other

Crying, crying, crying, crying
Crying, crying, crying, crying
Crying, crying, crying, crying (we gotta look out for each other)
Crying, crying, crying, crying (we gotta look out for each other)

Battlefield never goes away
We're so brave when we're in pain
Maybe you're sad and that's ok
Maybe you're real, maybe you're afraid
Nobody cares when a line gets crossed
Nobody cares when a life gets lost
And lives do get lost
We gotta look out for each other
