lyrics

Taken my chances and placed my bets
Suffered from wounds you could not get
Without a knife to your throat or a gun to your head
Knocking myself right back to the start again
Couldn't master the game so I re-wrote the rules
And ran so hard to get ahead of the fools
Lost my wind and got set back way behind
Way behind with a loser's state of mind

I always felt that I should have known better
Tried to live to the law if not to the letter

So hard to find some wind for these wings, so I can fly
Wind for these wings

I ran so hard my feet they bled
Changed my skin from a pale to deeper red
And if life claimed more than these bruises and bumps
I'd drag myself home on bloodied stumps
Got to dig down deep for the will to survive
And a deeper meaning to be alive
When the mind is sick and the pills run low
What will I have to make me whole?
