time to face the road
you've got somewhere to go
there's no turning back
tonight
you're troubled by your shame
and here you must remain
and take it as you should
even when it hurts
you live your life on rent
touching with kid gloves
but you need to hit a nerve
even when it hurts
take another bite
from the masochistic rind
erudite sunrise
its alright
no one is an island
so reach out for someone else
and swallow up your pride
inside
i know you tried for real
but you need some time to heal
in exasperated spurts -
even when it hurts -
and your standing by your former self
and your standing by your former self
just a shadow of what could've been
and you cannot recognize
you wonder if you crawl
could you make it past the wall
can't you hear The Spirit call?
'come unto me'
and everybody doubted
everything about you
but you changed into something
new
you changed into something
new
even when it hurt
even when it hurt
even when it hurt
