I was sinking in the water, I saw death there I gave in, took a breath, it was fresh air Woke up by the sycamore in a deck chair With my girl's head gently resting on my chest hair Saw my family walking while the sun is rising Parents looking proud cus they see that their son is smiling I seen violence, I seen fighting, I seen giants Trees rising, seen seas shining, I... F*ck If I slip then I keep trying I keep climbing I'm defiant, I dream vibrant From the ashes of a wicker man, I rise then I breathe fire I beat tyrants, use these beats to defeat sirens As the fires swell And the ceiling fell I say farewell To the man I was The waves crash inside Water starts to rise So I say goodbye To the man I was From a man to a gladiator Life might stab you in the back, incapacitate ya But you stand tall, bleeding in this grand hall Embrace the weight of the water when the dam falls We're just shadows on a sundial In the shade of the trees we can run wild Life rushing fast, someone let this man breathe Love is found in the gaps of the stampede If this the last song I ever wrote Let the message help replenish hope The best fruit has the shadow of decay The ripeness a reminder, all we ever have's today From a dying emperor slowly rising to his throne To a child taking early, cancer eating at their bones We exist for a moment then we melt into the snow Know our last ever thoughts will always be of home As the fires swell And the ceiling fell I say farewell To the man I was The waves crash inside Water starts to rise So I say goodbye To the man I was
