Verse 1 Not so long ago, thought I knew the world Though it was much too small and left me curled Longing for the womb Breathing darkness “Cut me down before the morning comes” I didn’t pray… Now I see The blade was kind Left me with a sharper mind Chorus I'm not grateful for what cut me down Not thankful for being held to the ground There is no map to who I am I’m too big to fit in your idiot box Leave your new age crap outside No thank you to all who made me drown I learned to jump up on my way down Verse 2 Waiting for my true kin to arrive Made me feel worthless, tried to make me small But my eyes stayed on the target, my back to the wall Your ammo taught me how to duck Your sneers taught me not to give a **** When you hear voices that seek to keep you tame Just sit down and write about the pain Chorus I'm not grateful for what cut me down Not thankful for being held to the ground There is no map to who I am I’m too big to fit in your idiot box Leave your new age crap outside No thank you to all who made me drown I learned to jump up on my way down Bridge There is a choice There’s just one breath Only this moment and it’s both life and death There’s a thing that’s watching, waiting We must stop hesitating All this power replaces all the pain All the losses become all the gains Final Chorus I'm not grateful for what cut me down Not thankful for being held to the ground There is no map to who I am I’m too big to fit in your idiot box Leave your new age crap outside No thank you to all who made me drown I learned to jump up on my way down I learned to jump... I learned to jump... I learned to jump on my way down
