They made my daughter suffer Let every one of them Pay for what they’ve done [Verse 1B — Female] I’m heading to the clinic now Two hours in the waiting room People everywhere Some of them in business suits Looking just like anyone You’d pass out on the street From the outside We look alright From the inside It still hurts [Pre-Chorus — Male / Female] [Male] Nobody sees it [Female] Nobody knows [Male] How heavy “normal” feels [Female] When you carry it alone [Chorus — Both] I won’t go down I won’t go down The one that’s ending Won’t be me A sinking feast A castle made of sand [Male] Not you [Female] NOT ME [Both] I won’t go down I won’t go down [Female] No, I’m not going under [Verse 2 — Female] I miss Russ, my boyfriend If we lived in the same country I could see him every day At the end of this year I’ll meet him in Italy His mother’s homeland There’s someone there Who’s waiting for me There’s so much waiting there That I can’t find here And after everything I still have What matters most [Male Response] Hold on to that Let the rest fall There’s still a world Beyond these walls [Bridge — Male / Female] [Male] Suspension order’s going on Slave-contract talks keep dragging on [Female] And now I know It’s TOTALLY OVER [Male] A hundred percent [Female] And even more [Both] COMPLETELY GONE [Female] What used to be a question Now feels certain [Break — Female] Maybe one day The whole set burns away And I’ll be standing alone Out in the wasteland When everything is gone And the view finally opens up I’ll start walking again [Male] Then walk [Female] I will [Final Chorus — Both] I won’t go down I won’t go down Even if it all burns down I’ll still be here TOTALLY OVER COMPLETELY GONE The one that’s ending Won’t be me A sinking feast A castle made of sand When the view opens up I’ll start walking again [Male] Not you [Female] NOT ME [Both] I won’t go down I won’t go down [Female] No, I’m not going under [Outro — Female] 5:31 I push that heavy door And step into the evening I’m walking Through the now
