Every tree has got her root
And every girl forbidden fruit
And got her demons
And the path I chose to go
A different girl so long ago
I had my reasons
And she's in my head so loud
And screaming,
“Shouldn't you be proud of what you came from?"
“Oh you've been crippled and you've walked and
You've been shut up and you talked
So let's talk some more”
(One, two, three
The flashback to get me
On a one, two, four
The threat of the memory)
Where is the hand
For me to reach?
Where is the moral
I'll ever teach myself?
In all the black (black)
In all the grief (grief)
I am redeemed
And it's ripping at my heart
Because I'm dodging all the darts
And on a slow train
And then I'll wear it 'til it tatters
And it shatters on the floor
In instant replay
Oh, we're all rotten
And we're pure
And we're just looking for the cure
That feels like spring snow
And all we have is who we are
And where we been got us this far
So let me go
Where is the hand
For me to reach?
Where is the moral
I'll never teach myself?
In all the black (black)
In all the grief (grief)
I am redeemed
Well
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Where is the hand
For me to reach?
Where is the moral
I'll never teach myself?
In all the black
In all the grief
Through all the pain
And unbelief
These are the words
That they all scream
I am redeemed
