  • Can't rise from the bottom
    Time flies when ya got it
    Your time has receded
    Wasted
    Could, should have been, and didn't

    [Chorus:]
    I've given up my hand for a brother
    I've given up a hand for free
    I've risen and forgiven, and I've pardoned
    But you set yourself free

    Nose dive crash to the bottom
    Angel, your wing was always broken
    Fought for rights of the prophets
    Not for the spirit of your daughters
    I did it...

    [Chorus]

    Walk slowly
    Seems like time stopped
    Seems like I'm slow dancing
    But I'm flying
    Where do I go?
    The home I know is closed
    I'm free
    Free, yeah
    I'm free
    Free, yeah
    Free, free, yeah

    [Chorus]

    Bitten off my hand for the stuff, and
    Livin' off the shit you steal
    You perished for religious and forgotten
    Daughters that you couldn't see

    Given up my hand
    You set yourself free
    Given up a hand for free
    Given up my hand
    You set yourself free
    But you set yourself free Writer/s: DAVID G KUSHNER, DUFF ROSE MC KAGAN, MATHEW WILLIAM SORUM, SAUL HUDSON, SCOTT RICHARD WEILAND
