Mark Foster – Warrior Lyrics (feat A-Trak and Kimbra)

My hands are tired
But my eyes are open
This modern denial
Has me broken

Nothing mystical
No hullabaloo
Just chemicals
And no one looking down on you

What am I thinking? (If you’re so sure it’s rational)
While the worlds shrinking? (but that don’t make it logical)
What am I thinking? (If you say I’m just an animal)
I feel like I’m sinking (you can’t explain away the way I feel!)

You’re just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you ‘Trust your head, be like men’ but never feel like you’re good enough)
You’re just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wana take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love!)

(I’ll be your warrior, warrior)

You’re taking over
And I’m feeling small
When I was a child
I knew it all

Nothing magical
No hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction
But I know I’m made for more!

What am I thinking? (If you’re so sure it’s rational)
While the worlds shrinking? (but that don’t make it logical)
What am I thinking? (If you say I’m just an animal)
I feel like I’m sinking (you can’t explain away the way I feel!)

And you’re just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(They tell you, ‘Trust your head, be like men’ but never feel like you’re good enough)
You keep crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love!)

And you’re just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
(You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard!)
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
(They wana take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love!)
