i'm crawling out of my skin

i hope i get under yours

so many times before

but you still wanna know why

i won't just lay down and die

what did you expect

i think that i could guess

but this weight is lifted and i'm like

back from the dead

and i'm feeling kinda strange

i'm not the same, and i think i like the change



nothing lost, just cut away

nothing left to hinder me

pushing on, stronger every day

leaning into the wind that used to carry me

(nothing left to hinder me)(*backing vocal)

the last shot

nearly killed me

eternity lifted me again

(nothing left to hinder me)

oh, how i want to be

an offense, an unsettling presence in this life



why'd you try to take me out

why try to keep me down?



to get my eyes off me

down each ugly street

too many needs, too many

souls on their knees

and where have i been?

too much is me and mine

too much is wasting time

with the cares of this life and now

i understand and i'm

i'm on my way i feel like a man

and i, i think i like the change



nothing lost, just cut away

nothing left to hinder me

pushing on, stronger every day

leaning into the wind that used to carry me

(nothing left to hinder me)

the last shot nearly killed me

eternity lifted me again

(nothing left to hinder me)

oh how i want to be

an offense, an unsettling presence in this life



why'd you try to take me out, why try to keep me down?
