lyrics

Both Sides

I will burn on both sides
I will build the fire high
In my shadow I’m alive
In my center I’m alive
I will burn on both sides
My relentless strength is mine
My vulnerability is mine
I will burn on both sides

What it is, to be alive
What it is, to be alive
What it is, to be alive
What it is, to be alive

So many ways of how to call a man
So many wanys of how to judge a man
So many way ;[p ;p[s of how to be a man
So many ways to b ;[pecome a man

I tried the long way
now I try the hard way
Spill my guts break my heart open
let the sun inside
Shine a light on the backroom of my vulnerability
I keep an open mind on what a man’s supposed to be

‘Cause I’m a fucking rock
but still soft as can be
My claim is not on you
I’m only claiming me
This thing that I’ve outgrown
This pod that I’ve cracked open
I’m leaving it behind

What it is, what it is, what it is, what…
