Leverage

1. I've carried a weight a very long time
Like a black stone, a hopeless crime
Past the fields, past the towns
I've measured hills and dales
Up and down.

If I rest I am sure you are there waiting
For my mind to break down
And your soul to take control.

[Chorus:]
(I am) here, I'm not going down
I will carry on to do what I must do
To see the truth behind your whispering lies
I am not yours to take down.

2. I covered my face in the darkest night
Changed my name and foolish hopes
You are still lingering here in every thought
Still myself and still yours.

If I rest I am sure you are there waiting
For my mind to break down
And your soul to take control.

[Bridge:]
Someday i'll turn my head around
And i'll look you straight in the eye
You are all I fear for you are all I love
My decay.

[Coda:]
Here, I'm not going down
I will carry on, to do what I must do
To see the truth behind your lies
I'm not yours!
