I am now in a state of rain
We can learn from the act of pain
Someone said we could beat these odds
Someone dead; letting go, I can't hold on
But so far everything is working out (I'm all set to give in)
And almost everything is paid for now
As I hit the ground, I am forced and I obey
But I still kick the dirt from under me
And I am stained with ash from the fire on the match
But I still burn to blow this all away
With these hands, I am holding on
In my head what is weak will make me strong
In my past is a den of lies
In my heart, still alive and still despised
But so far everything is working out (I'm all set to give in)
And almost everything is paid for now
As I hit the ground, I am forced and I obey
But I still kick the dirt from under me
And I am stained with ash from the fire on the match
But I still burn to blow this all away
