Down, down feeling gagged and bound. <br />And tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />Convicted with an accepting addiction of it. <br /> <br />Stretched beyond imagination, <br />People wish they could elope with their hopes. <br />At the end of slipping twisting ropes... <br />And blowing in a wind that shifts. <br /> <br />Picked and tossed across a river like a pebble. <br />And not making a ripple or a dent. <br />Hoping that a simple skip will give them a lift. <br />But that lift to them aint been sent to benefit. <br /> <br />People feel today they are weak and feeble. <br />With down cast eyes in cracks and ruts. <br />And no one seems to want to give that up! <br />But... <br />Down, down feeling gagged and bound. <br />Tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />And... <br />Convicted with an accepting addiction of it. <br />Oh... <br />Down, down feeling gagged and bound. <br />And tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />And... <br />Convicted with an accepting addiction of it. <br />Existing everyday to be defeated and licked. <br /> <br />Down, down feeling gagged and bound. <br />And tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />Convicted with an accepting addiction of it. <br /> <br />Doo doo doo doo doo down down, <br />Doo doo doo down down... <br />And tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />Doo doo doo doo doo down down, <br />Doo doo doo down down... <br />And tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />Doo doo doo doo doo down down, <br />Doo doo doo down down... <br />And tied by the wrists to a pity pit. <br />As if convicted accepting of it.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
