I've got these fears that are growing too strong in me
They breed from tears and cover with irony
Little piece by piece I'm building my breakaway
One break at a time I tear this prison down

I've got what they want
I'm holding on and on
I've got what they need
I'm holding on and on

Breakdown
The secret is over
I see you're trying to break me down
I came down, it's time to let go now
Fear is just a big fat lie
You've got me going good
And I don't think you should
Breakdown
You've got me going good

Let me go (8x)

I've been beaten down, been riding in a filthy cage
Though I've been baptized with fire
The way is too much to take

I've got what they want
I'm holding on and on
I've got what they need
I'm holding on and on

Breakdown
The secret is over
I see you're trying to break me down
I came down, it's time to let go now
Fear is just a big fat lie
You've got me going good
And I don't think you should
Breakdown
You've got me going good

I've got what they want
I've got what they need
I've got what they want
'Cause I'm holding on and on

Breakdown
The secret is over
I see you're trying to break me down
I came down, it's time to let go now
Fear is just a big fat lie
You've got me going good
And I don't think you should
Breakdown
You've got me going good
