From the recording Samsara
Lyrics
Every time, I try to get ahead, something pulls me back again
All these cold nights, I wonder when, they’ll all come to and end
Cause I’m waiting, for my time to come, when will I be set free
This old burden, in my soul, source of my misery
Chorus:
When you’re lost, when you feel like letting go
When you’re sad and blue
Just remember who you are, they can’t take that from you
This old painting, on the wall, reminds me of better times
But I’d like to, burn it down, cause it just fuels my fire
Late at night, I hear the laughs, but I can’t recall
Yes I guess I’m, nicely numb, so it don’t hurt to fall
Chorus:
Burnin this candle, at both ends, I’m hopin it don’t burn out
Smashed in benders, liquid magic, don’t even take the edge off
Cause the poison, in my heart, kills me a little each day
Wish that I could, operate, so I no longer feel the pain
And even though I say they can’t
Take away who you are
I never said that they won’t take
They just rip out your heart
Chorus:
So when you’re lost, when you feel like fighting back
When you’ve reached the edge
Take a chance, don’t look back, behind you is not the end
