The Breakdown by The New Schematics Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't have much on me
Loose change and a set of keys
Trouble up to my knees and the water's rising
Torn up like a magazine
More broke than a broke-down cash machine
But I shake it off like a tambourine

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on rising
Keep on rising

[Chorus]
Come on up for the breakdown
It's a soul search shakedown
Put your fists up
Or you'll end up messed up face down
It's a hard-knock livin'
But I'ma go down swingin'
Gonna dig in for the fallout, 'till you hear me singin'
[Verse 2]
Heartache isn't meant to last
But it tests you like a polygraph
Get strong move on let it pass
Keep on climbin'
Let pain a toll on me
But pain ain't got no hold on me, no
Pain can't take control of me

[Pre Chorus]
Running or hiding
Keep on fighting

[Chorus]
Come on up for the breakdown
It's a soul search shakedown
Put your fists up
Or you'll end up messed up face down
Hey
It's a hard-knock livin'
But I'ma go down swingin'
Gonna dig in for the fallout, 'till you hear me singin'

[Bridge]
Come on up for the breakdown
Good luck with the takedown
Gonna stand up, gonna man up
'Till you end up face down
It's a hell of a livin'
If up is all you're given
Goin' all out for the fallout 'till you hear me singin'
[Chorus]
Come on up for the breakdown
Good luck with the takedown
Gonna stand up, gonna man up
'Till you end up face down
It's a hell of a livin'
If up is all you're given
Goin' all out for the fallout 'till you hear me singin'
