I'm behind the wheel

Cold and stoned

The spirit is heavy

And I just want to be alone

I was born so free

But a slave I'm bound

I lost myself

On a long way down

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's fight

I'm pushing up against the dark tonight

I never want to tell you

What I saw last night

Keep it on the inside

There's a hiding place

On the bedroom floor

I cover myself

When the cold wind blows

I've been living like a ghost

In a cage of steel

With the gate wide open

On a battlefield

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's fight

I'm pushing up against the dark tonight

I never want to tell you

What I thought last night

Keep it on the inside

Setting stones

On a fire in motion

But you don't want to know it

Do you?

It's broken like a bone inside

There's a lightning storm

Tearing up the field

Everything changes

I'm trying just to let it go, now

Let it go

Let it go, now

Let it go

Let it go, now
