about

Nine Yards, taken from the album Lone Wolves

lyrics

Working too hard
For too little money to pay
the rent, the bills
But it's all for the love of the game
And please know that I could have
I would have opened up for love
but you can't learn
To love somebody else
before you learn to love yourself

So listen up. Listen up, man
It's getting harder
Just to keep my spirits up
When you're clawing out the gutter
And life smacks you down
Half empty glass
And I sure could use a refill
Flat broke, so that ain't gonna fly
I'm just wondering
When I'll cave under the weight
Of all the black thoughts
Haunting my mind

And the thing I finally realised
I'm the only thing holding me back
Push myself down every time
The biggest wolf at my door is me

Sometimes I'd rather
Take the punches than fight
RISE BACK UP
With broken knuckles
And bloody fists I'll
RISE BACK UP
Punch drunk,
But I'll take it in the rematch any day
RISE BACK UP
You can break my bones,
But you can't break my spirit, and I'll
RISE BACK UP

Every second on which I used to rely
I got time now on my side
Every second; another chance to deny
I've got chance now on my side
Once more, rock bottom.
What's left to say?

I grew strong from this cross I bear
RISE BACK UP
from the black bowels of my hell
Rise up
