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
