I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine
I was given a name that doesn't feel like it's mine
Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be
Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me 

Sold my soul, broke my bones,
Tell me, what did I get? 
Did my time, toed the line
Ain't seen anything yet

Strike me down to the ground
You know I've seen it before
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt 
I just don't care anymore 

How could you break my heart? 
Already played my part 
I kept my promise man 
Show me the promiseland 

Don't occupy my throne 
Give me the crown I own 
Lived like you told me how 
Look at me now 

I've got no money in my pocket 
And the whole world's bringing me down 
And the whole world's bringing me down. 

One person's life's just another man's truth 
We got done running from the devil, but the devil was you 
Every time I see the light, I'm falling deeper in debt
If I've never seen the good, how can it come to an end? 

Sold my soul, broke my bones,
Tell me, what did I get? 
Did my time, toed the line
Ain't seen anything yet

Strike me down to the ground
You know I've seen it before
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt 
I just don't care anymore 

How could you break my heart? 
Already played my part 
I kept my promise man 
Show me the promiseland 

Don't occupy my throne 
Give me the crown I own 
Lived like you told me how 
Look at me now 

I've got no money in my pocket 
And the whole world's bringing me down 
And the whole world's bringing me down. 
And the whole world's bring me down 

How could you break my heart? 
Already played my part 
I kept my promise man 
Show me the promiseland 

Don't occupy my throne 
Give me the crown I own 
Lived like you told me how 
Look at me now
