I Will Rise

Oh, it's hard to wake from feelin' blue

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

And my hands may shake from lack of booze

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

And though I've fallen out of space and time

Oh, I will rise, I will rise

And I dug my grave with honest lies

Oh, I will rise, I will rise

Now I'm king of the hounds

I wear shame like a crown

And they're placin' bets all over town

On how I'll die, but I will rise

And I grieve to death to death from losing you

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

Now I choke on ash like cheap perfume

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

Oh I'm scared to death of my own mind

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

And from the bottom of the well I hide

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

Now I'm king of the hounds

I wear shame like a crown

And they're placin' bets all over town

On how I'll die, but I will rise

And I walk through hell and like the view

Oh, but I will rise, I will rise

And though your image of me now is skewed

Oh, I will rise, I will rise

And I've given up my final time

Oh ,and I will rise, I will rise

And now my candle burns from either side

Oh, and I will rise, I will rise

Now I'm king of the hounds

I wear shame like a crown

And they're placin' bets all over town

On how I'll die, but I will rise
