Man Down Written by David Wright 1 July 2026 Copyright © 2026, by David Wright [Verse 1] I was just outside Mind on my own Then the corner turned mean Like a stone in my throat Red on the pavement Steps getting close I heard my name once Then I lost the road [Pre-Chorus] Hands in the air But the fear came fast One breath too late And the night went black [Chorus] Man down, man down Don't call my name now Man down, man down Cold on the ground now Man down, man down You left me here now Man down, man down Tell my mama somehow [Verse 2] They moved like a pack With nothing but hate Faces half-hidden Under hunger and shame My lungs kept burning My pulse went thin I tried to stand up But the dark moved in [Pre-Chorus] Hands in the air But the fear came fast One breath too late And the night went black [Chorus] Man down, man down Don't call my name now Man down, man down Cold on the ground now Man down, man down You left me here now Man down, man down Tell my mama somehow [Bridge] If I don't come back Let the truth stay loud A life can vanish In a heartbeat's sound I was still somebody Before the flash Before their anger Cut my world in half [Chorus] Man down, man down Don't call my name now Man down, man down Cold on the ground now Man down, man down You left me here now Man down, man down Tell my mama somehow
