lyrics

It's not inside your bones, it's leaving you alone. No more night's lying awake, no more pain left to take, no more resisting this. It came as a surprise, like five across the eyes: that all the things that I want, all the things that i got never felt like it was enough.

But I found a way to play a damaged hand and make it last. I found a way to shed some light upon what's been going on with me...

‘Cause something ain't right. Hasn't been for a while. It's that same anxious heart beating in my chest. Things are gonna change, can’t continue this way - and I know I can’t live with that same anxious heartbeat anymore.

I found a way turn what I felt into something else. I found a way to live my life before I died.

I found a way to take this hurt and make it work! I found a way to take a fall and transmute it all! I found a way to spin my fate into something great - because wealthy is the man who turns his shit into gold.
