Recovery

I don't wanna play this game no more
I don't wanna play it
I don't wanna stay round here no more
I don't wanna stay here
Like rain on a Monday morning
Like pain that just keeps on going on
Look at all the hate they keep on showin
I don't wanna see that
Look at all the stones they keep on throwin
I don't wanna feel that
Like Sun that will keep on burning
And I used to be so discerning oh
In my recovery
I'm a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined, I designed
My recovery
In the salt of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined, I designed
My recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
My recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
My recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
And I can hear the choirs keep on singing
Tell me what they're saying
I can hear the phone, it keeps on ringing
I don't wanna answer
I know that I used to listen
And I know I've become dismissive, oh
In my recovery
I'm a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined, I designed
My recovery
In the salt of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined, I designed
My recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
My recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
In my recovery
I'm a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined, I designed
My recovery
In the salt of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined, I designed
My recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
My recovery
My recovery
My recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
Recovery, recovery
Recovery, recovery
Keep soaring, keep songwriting
