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 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 Got to let go Move on from a tainted past 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 you go for the green Y ou'll soon see what I mean Got to let go Move on from a tainted past I'll never know Fall out from a tainted past Tainted past Why should anyone finish last Tainted past You needn'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 grey 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 T hey say it's not meant to be Well I'm parting the sea Got to let go Move on from a tainted past I'll never know F all out from a tainted past
