A testament to tenaciousness with a touch of despair.
lyrics
I will not come down
I’ve got troubles of my own with my chalice
the light of my soul is not burning painless
the light of my soul is not shutting off
no matter how I try to be blameless
I know in the past they did me wrong
I’ve got my disease it’s coming along
…something special
I’ve got troubles of my own with my malice
the light on my soul is not burning thankless
everybody cast your stones at someone else
it’s only fair to try to repay them, blame them
I know in the past they did you wrong
don’t know why that means you can do no harm
I know in the past they did you wrong
don’t know why that means you can do no harm
I will not come down
to the ground, no
so why not start right now
you try and make me come around
I can see the room in my mind
I can see the tomb and crawl inside
I can see the places I might hide
I curry the favor with all my might
I carry my soul in the direction of light
I carry my soul and the reflection is blinding
I can see the room in my mind
I don’t think I can go on sometimes
…something special;
are you something special?
I will not come down
so why not start right now
you try and make me come around…
