Downtrodden Lyrics

Once I was complete,
With the earth firm, under my feet,
My back was strong, my body fleet,
Now I ache all over, now I ache all over.
I learned each virtue I was told,
I worked hard to avoid the mold.
But as I saw my life unfold,
There was no place for me, there was no place for me.

I've been beat, I've been broken,
I asked for a place, and the world has spoken
I was asleep, but now that I've woken,
I prefered my dreams.

I'm tired guilt, I'm tired of crying,
I'm tired of work, and I'm finished trying.
I'm tired of living, and I'm scared of dying,
But there is nothing else.

It was hard as I begun,
Each day harder it has become.
Once I was complete,
With the earth firm, under my feet,
My back was strong, my body fleet,
Now I ache all over, now I ache all over.

I learned each virtue I was told,
I worked hard to avoid the mold.
But as I saw my life unfold,
There was no place for me, there was no place for me.

I've been beat, I've been broken,
I asked for a place, and the world has spoken
I was asleep, but now that I've woken,
I prefered my dreams.
I'm tired guilt, I'm tired of trying,
I'm tired of living, and I'm scared of dying.
I'm tired of work, and I'm finished trying,
But there is nothing else.

It was hard as I begun,
Each day harder it has become.

Once I was complete,
With the earth firm, under my feet,
My back was strong, my body fleet,
Now I ache all over, now I ache all over.
