[Intro]
Pressure in the floorboards, weight beneath my feet
A low rumble rolls in, then the room skips a beat
[Verse 1]
You put a stone in every pocket of my coat
Still I kept moving with a hand around my throat
Every promise had a price, every favor left a mark
You kept pointing at the water while you pushed me in the dark
I hear your voice in the back of my head
Counting every step, measuring every breath
But I cut the rope, let the whole chain snap
You wanted me beneath you, I was never built for that
[Pre-Chorus]
When the floor gives way
I find another road
You can call my name
But I won't carry your load
[Chorus]
You try to drag me down, drag me down
But I turn that weight around
You try to drag me down, drag me down
Now your hands can't hold me bound
[Drop]
Drag me down—no
Drag me down—no
Bass hits hard, let the whole place know
[Verse 2]
I came back with the dust still stuck inside my shoes
No borrowed crown, no excuse left to lose
You mistook my silence for a permanent defeat
Now I speak in broken walls and thunder underneath
Every setback left a blueprint on my skin
Every locked door taught me where to break in
You can stack your doubts like bricks around the town
I’ll climb the highest one and watch them tumble down
[Bridge]
Keep your weight, keep your blame
Keep the story with my name
I found breath beneath the strain
I found power in the pain
[Final Chorus]
You try to drag me down, drag me down
But I turn that weight around
You try to drag me down, drag me down
Now your hands can't hold me bound
[Outro]
No chain, no crown, no ground beneath your doubt
You tried to drag me down
I found my way out
