[Verse 1] I woke up mean With that old weight on my chest Coffee cold in the cup And the same ache in my head My hands shook first Then I heard that low wind call It said, "Boy, you look tired" "Why you keep standin' at the wall?" [Pre-Chorus] I said, "I'm still here" Even if I'm barely whole The floor feels like water And the dark wants my soul But I know my name Even when it fades away One more breath in this house One more step through the gray [Chorus] Don't take me under Don't call my name (come on down) I know that shadow Wants me the same Don't take me under Let me stay (come on down) I'm bruised, I'm bent But I won't break [Verse 2] That old red devil Wears my father's grin Sits on the foot of the bed Says, "Boy, let it in" Says, "No one will miss you" "Soon the hurting will stop" But I spit on that lie And I climb that hill back up [Pre-Chorus] I said, "I'm still here" Even if I'm barely whole The floor feels like water And the dark wants my soul But I know my name Even when it fades away One more breath in this house One more step through the gray [Chorus] Don't take me under Don't call my name (come on down) I know that shadow Wants me the same Don't take me under Let me stay (come on down) I'm bruised, I'm bent But I won't break [Bridge] [Violin Solo] There's a church bell ringin' in my bones There's a mother's prayer I can't outgrow I done made peace with the fear I own Now I let it pass right through Not today Not tonight I can hear the river But I choose the light [Final Chorus] Don't take me under Don't call my name (come on down) I know that shadow Wants me the same Don't take me under Let me stay (come on down) I'm bruised, I'm bent But I won't break I'm bruised, I'm bent But I won't break
