Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clock in with my teeth clenched
Wake up on the edge again
Shoes full of gravel
Head full of "what if then"
I keep my hands busy
I keep my face straight
Still the floor pulls harder
And the hours won't wait
[Pre-Chorus]
I been running so long
My lungs know the bruise
Every step's a small war
Every win feels used
[Chorus]
Cut me down slow
I'm still standing, though
Cut me down slow
I won't let it show
I want the crown
I want it bad
But the grind keeps biting
And I bleed a little back
[Verse 2]
Empty cups on the desk now
Cold fries in the bag
My dreams got fingerprints
From every time I lag
The mirror looks thinner
The skin looks gray
Like the world keeps taking
A little more each day
[Pre-Chorus]
I been running so long
My legs feel the chain
Every step's a hammer
Every hope feels drained
[Chorus]
Cut me down slow
I'm still standing, though
Cut me down slow
I won't let it show
I want the crown
I want it bad
But the grind keeps biting
And I bleed a little back
[Bridge]
If I fall, let me fall loud
Let it shake these walls
If I crawl, I'll crawl forward
Won't let hunger call
I am tired, I am torn up
I am barely here
But the fire in my ribs says
I'm not finished yet
[Final Chorus]
Cut me down slow
I'm still standing, though
Cut me down slow
I won't let it show
I want the crown
I want it bad
And if it takes my whole life
I'll still reach for what I had
[Outro]
Still reach
Still reach
Till there's nothing left
Still reach
