I swear I think I've had enough
I'm sick of all the things that I used to be and still am
But I'm tired of doggin all the crowds
So I'm stickin all my demons in a turkey baster and I'm squeezin em out
Cause I'd rather jump around and shout
I cried cause I had no shoes and I still don't but I found my face
Finally, once again I'm not afraid
It's good to see you my old friend
Don't look back
that wont last
it's time to pass the past
Don't tense up
Don't begrudge
This step is where you're at
But the shadow of my ghost it haunts my steps
It's everywhere I've been and it's everywhere I'm about to be
Maybe who I was really can't be beat
But the past has passed like a kidney stone and I'm not the man I used to be
It's not that I've become lazy
Maybe I know healthy soldiers go up to the front lines and I wanna go home
but I never really was alone
It's good to be with you my old friend
And I've been searching for that mighty wind
But I've only found in the memories of who I've been
I've spent my time retracing steps
It's looked me in the eye, it's stronger than me and my best friends
It's the memory of who I've been
