Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst

Like the banks of a swollen river

As bitterness does its worst

Working on your feelings - eating you all up

But you have to shake that shit to move on

An' let love carry you on up -



(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off

Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off



Unfair to give in - and never changes course

If you have the choice before you

You must take it with a force



Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth

As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth



(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off

Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off



Moments in time

finding the space

To be what'cha wanna be

The things you never got

Life you never had

The dreams that you once dreamed



Waiting your time - finding the space

To be what'cha wanna be

Well, just be!



Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth

As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth



(It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off

Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
