My hands are tied
But my eyes are open
This modern denial has me broken
Nothing mystical, no hullabaloo
Just chemicals, and no one looking down on you
Pre-Chorus
What am I thinking (if you're so sure it's rational)
While the world's shrinking (but that don't make it logical)
What am I thinking (if you say I'm just an animal)
I feel like I'm sinking (you can't explain away the way I feel)
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you 'trust your head, be like men
But never feel like you're good enough)
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love)
I'll be your warrior, warrior)
(I'll be your warrior, warrior)
You're taking over and I'm feeling small
When I was a child, I knew it all
Nothing magical, no hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction, but I know I'm made for more
Pre-Chorus
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(You wanna change the world
But your girls will be seen and not be heard)
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love)
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you 'trust your head)
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They wanna take our light)
And you're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(You wanna change the world
But your girls will be seen and not be heard)
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight
But never cry for the ones you love)
