You Ain't Gonna Drag Me Down

Story Behind The Song

A song to inspire anyone to get out of a bad situation. I originally wrote this song in hopes of releasing it prior to the 2018 midterm elections as a way to inspire people to go out and vote. The song uses a personal tone, of someone who has been repeatedly abused and taken for granted and simply wants to feel alive and vindicated. I always hope this song inspires someone to break themselves out of an abusive scenario.

Lyrics

I am waking from this haze
dreamt of more forgiving days
where the burdens of my fear lifted away
I've been unseen and forlorn
shredded cloth that's been outworn
and my silence will no longer be the same, oh no

'Cause you ain't gonna drag me down
You ain't gonna drag me down
no more, no more

I am walking trepid steps
filled with ordinary breath
and the scars that decorate my weathered soul
Kicked around and tussled up
Bore the brunt and had too much
in a life that's always bent before the fold

You ain't gonna drag me down
You ain't gonna drag me down
no more, no more

Wasted time and constant sadness
A broken body left in ashes
All I wanted was to feel alive

You ain't gonna drag me down
You ain't gonna drag me down
no more, no more
