Taught to fear my God
Then that fear became a cancer
And I take medicine
to destroy the sin
But I know, in the end it's killing me
I watched my family fall apart
My father's liquor was his crutch
But he still taught me well
That this world, it is a Hell
And we're all damned to the hell of living
With my heart in my hands
I am ready again
I am a broken man, I am
'Cause I've come to accept
That the blood that you bled
It was bled and sent for the likes of me
Should I work myself to death?
Who gives a damn about my rest
And I'll leave the divine to better men than I
I'll just take what I can find anymore
So I left you knocking at the door
I just don't feel it anymore
The only fire I feel has been burning at my heels
And it's real
I feel like I've been sinking
With my heart in my hands
I am ready again
I am a broken man, I am
'Cause I've come to accept
That the blood that you bled
It was bled and sent for the likes of me
