21 GRAMS
I forget, just so
I can remember
I pull myself apart
Just to put myself back together
And God, she gave me grace
And I disgraced her
But I learn from my mistakes
And I’ve come back here to face her
So tell me what these wings are worth
If you refuse to fly
You’ve got 21 Grams of soul in you
And a mind that’s full of lies
And I’ve been paying tribute
To the beast
Stole a bunch of flowers and I lay them at his feet
Apologised for ever being cruel
Told him if he joined me
Together we could rule
And you will taste our spirit in the dust
Watch these metal empires
Rust away
Tumbling and crumbling they fall
So who’s side were you on now
After all?
So tell me what these wings are worth
If you refuse to fly
You’ve got 21 Grams of soul in you
And a mind that’s full of lies
If nothing’s real less what you feel
Take a breath and own the highs
21 grams of freedom
It’s up to you to claim your life
Unfurl your wings,
Take a breath and dare to dream
Unfurl your wings,
Take a breath and dare to dream
You’ve got blood in your veins
And potential to succeed
Fuck all those lies…
It’s time that you got free
