downbeat.
i can't stand this incessant struggle against elements that never fold / conviction will not beget once disinspiration besets / doubt often sprouts in minds of even the most devout / no phoenix will rise for the beaten down and worn out // so we'll set our marks high and we'll aim for the white in their eyes / remember your alibi, falsify what underlies / we must not be petrified or be placed on standby / nor must we turn a blind eye to any desperate outcry // the water freezes where it doesn't flow / stationed objects don't reach new plateaus / frustration can deal a mortal blow / when exhaustion sways to-and-fro // breathe new life into what has died / remain firmly planted against the tide / only truly trust what you feel inside / do not be fooled by the lies of those who only abide // we're in an incessant struggle against elements that never fold / our convictions cannot beget once disinspiration besets / doubt often sprouts in minds of even the most devout / no phoenix will rise once we're beaten down and worn out // and no matter how down… / no matter how down / no, no matter how down… / please keep pushing
