I am a stubborn man

I am a stubborn man who never seemed to understand

That I am no exception to the fall

Everybody's looking for redemption from it all

I was a preachers kid

I was a preachers kid who got away with everything

Didn't want to taint my family name

So I stayed quiet in the dark with secrets boiling up my guilty veins

I'm trying to figure out the reason for all my doubt

There's nowhere to point the blame

This blood on my hands is weathered and stained

I didn't know who I was, barely know who I am

Trying to pick up the pieces that fell through my hands

Did I walk away for too long or am I just praying wrong?

I'm feeling vertigo

Just tumbling through the air with nowhere safe to go

Reaching for the whisky for relief

Cause my head won't let my heart trust in a thing that I can't see

Will the anchor stay

As the ship gets tossed around by all the wind and waves

Some days I feel I'm floating out to sea

But I'm hanging on to what I hope is true to hold me now and carry me

When everything is said and done I just want to be the one

Who's swimming in an ocean of peace

Open skies and open mind the questions seem to all subside

There's space here in my heart for it to beat

These pills aren't needed anymore, yeah they've been buried on the shore

I'm free from my depression and my grief

There's nothing here to hold me down all that was lost has now been found

I'm safe and sound, secure and finally free.

I'm free, I'm free
