All I Was
The years have known me well
Wearing my bones like a rental
Causing the strife in my heart
I searched for that distant shore
I don't expect to find my equilibrium
With the distance between the two
Rearrange and disengage
With my feet on the ground
Holding my head up high
I'll come full circle
All I was, All I was
The meek and I are the same
Been denied a given right
I could not preserve
With memories I cannot erase
The devil has been my friend for so long
I don't think I can live without
Rearrange and disengage
With my feet on the ground
Holding my head up high
I'll come full circle
All I was, All I was
Strangled smile coming undone
When your born inside the fire
You can't keep living this way
But I'm not living like a refugee
And there could be such a thing
As righting all my wrongs
Rearrange and disengage
With my feet on the ground
Holding my head up high
I'll come full circle
All I was, All I was
All I was
All I could be
All I should be
All I was
Wearing my bones like a rental
Causing the strife in my heart
I searched for that distant shore
I don't expect to find my equilibrium
With the distance between the two
Rearrange and disengage
With my feet on the ground
Holding my head up high
I'll come full circle
All I was, All I was
The meek and I are the same
Been denied a given right
I could not preserve
With memories I cannot erase
The devil has been my friend for so long
I don't think I can live without
Rearrange and disengage
With my feet on the ground
Holding my head up high
I'll come full circle
All I was, All I was
Strangled smile coming undone
When your born inside the fire
You can't keep living this way
But I'm not living like a refugee
And there could be such a thing
As righting all my wrongs
Rearrange and disengage
With my feet on the ground
Holding my head up high
I'll come full circle
All I was, All I was
All I was
All I could be
All I should be
All I was
