What Holds Us Down Lyrics - Bane

we are only brave enough to fight the battles already won for us 

and spend more time with our hair than we do our minds 

while the girls and the young and the lost 

are kicked off to the side 

our armies in fractions because our kings are so foolish 

we will never know true victory and are happy just to survive 

to live to dance another day 

still clinging to those golden - olden days 

while our mouths sweep the mess to the back of our minds 

nothing ever changing as we all grow older 

nothing ever changing as our hearts grow colder 

that's what holds us down 

we flap our wings but we never leave the ground
