bitterness rising

unfit to live in

just about fit to burst

like the banks of a swollen river

as bitterness does its worst

working on your feelings

eating you all up

you have to shed that shit to move on

let love carry you on up

bitterness rising

taking you off

bitterness rising

you gotta shake those feelings off

unfair to give in and never change its course

if you have the choice before you

you must take it with a force

or the past will take you

keep you from the truth

as bitterness rises from the ashes of your youth

bitterness rising

taking you off

bitterness rising

you gotta shake those feelings off

moments in time

finding the space

to be what'cha wanna be

the things you never got

life you never had

the dreams that you once dreamed

waiting your time

finding the space

to be what'cha wanna be

well just be!

or the past will take you

keep you from the truth

as bitterness rises from the ashes of your youth

bitterness rising

taking you off

bitterness rising

you gotta shake those feelings off
