The cynical view that has been taken is blowing my mind
I can't seem to piece it all together
I guess it takes time to unwind
To let the dust settle and let cooler heads prevail, oh oh, yeah

Each and every day I rise
From the ashes I've left behind
To start anew, push through
They say it's not meant to be, well, I'm parting the sea

Oh, got to let go, move on from a tainted past
Oh, and I'll never know, fall out from a tainted past

The selfish greedy world we live in
Is making me mad
It's always give me every marble
Then kiss my ass

Each and every day I rise
From the ashes I've left behind
To start anew, push through
If go for the green, you'll soon see what I mean

Oh, got to let go move on from a tainted past
Oh, I'll never know fall out from a tainted past, tainted past
Why should anyone finish last, tainted past
You ain't be a saint, all you need is lots of cash

Why did it end this way
I'll never understand, why my world is gray

When you combine heartache
With misery
Sets up a challenge for destiny

Each and every day I rise
From the ashes I've left behind
To start anew, push through
They say it's not meant to be, well, I'm parting the sea

Oh, got to let go, move on from a tainted past
Oh, and I'll never know, fall out from a tainted past
Oh, got to let go, move on from a tainted past
Oh, and I'll never know, fall out from a tainted past

I'll never understand, why my world is gray
Tonight baby, why my world is gray
I'll never understand, why my world is gray
Why did it end [ Incomprehensible]
