Lyrical Friday: Weathered, by Creed

I lie awake on a long dark night
I can’t seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can’t accept the life that’s mine, no
Maybe I can’t accept the life that’s mine
Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
And yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I am callous to the bone
Maybe that’s why I feel alone
Yeah
Maybe that’s why I feel so alone
Cos me, I’m rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I am covered with skin that peels and it just won’t heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I am covered with skin that peels and it just won’t heal
No
It just won’t heal
The sun shines, and I can’t avoid the light
I think I am holding onto life too tight
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like
Giving up
Yeah
I say
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Cos me, I am rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I am covered with skin that peels and it just won’t heal
I am rusted…
It just won’t heal
No
The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Cos one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
I choose to fight
To fight
Cos me, I am are rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I am covered with skin that peels and it just won’t heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I am covered with skin
That peels and it just wont
Covered with skin with peels
And it just wont
Covered with skin with peels And it just wont heal Copyright Petrichor and Clouds 2013 at petrichorandclouds.blogspot.com Please do not reproduce the material published here.
