I've been alone

Dead as a stone

Lead in my bones

Heavy with the weight

Of all of my no’s

Of all of my won’ts

Of all of my ghosts

I thought were keeping me safe

I need to get out of my home

Into the unknown

Where I can roam

Out of the cage

‘Cause I’ve been living in the don’ts

Safe from the lows

And maybe that road

Is just being afraid

 

I’m not looking to die

With a gun and a handful of why’s

And what good am I’s

In a life made of what I denied

So I’m coming for mine

I’m the silhouette in the sky

In the fears of the mind

I see battle lines

 

‘Cause

I’ve got a new war

with old wrongs

I’ll serve no longer

I’ve got a new war, so long

This soldier’s unconquered

 

I am not owned

By the road I chose

There’s nothing I owe

To my yesterdays

I’m the river that rolls

I’m the flight of the crow

This life ain’t a chokehold

The prison is fake

 

It’s like all of my life

I’ve had a devil inside

Telling me no, don’t try

Like it’s my soul, but half ain’t mine

I can’t turn back time

But I can leave this fox hole I made behind

 

‘Cause

I’ve got a new war

with old wrongs

I’ll serve no longer

I’ve got a new war, so long

This soldier’s unconquered
