How The Mighty Mock The Weak

(album: The Incubus - 2016)

Your heavy hateful gaze places all the weight and blame right on my shoulders
Meant to bring me down to the ground and shiver while the room gets colder and colder
You thought it worked out all so well
You thought you sent me down to hell
You thought it worked out all so well but know that I'm not dead yet
No I'm not dead yet

And how the mighty mock the weak
I'm not one of them so here's a promise I will keep
And I swear I will be free
Never again, rule over me

Well you can try to bring me down to a place where I feel guilty, lost, and lonely
I won't let that happen now
You can try your best but I won't let you break me
I should have seen the signs were there
But I could never be prepared
I should have seen the signs were there but I wouldn't accept it I was scared
No I'm not dead yet

And how the mighty mock the weak
I'm not one of them so here's a promise I will keep
And I swear I will be free
Never again (never again)
Rule over me

Well I'm not scared!
I'll make it through somehow
This isn't over now
All of my fears
I'll overcome somehow
I'll overcome somehow!

And how the mighty mock the weak
I'm not one of them so here's a promise I will keep
And I swear I will be free
Never again (never again)
Rule over me
