Sword and Shield Lyrics

There's a scar on my wrist that's long since healed

When I was young I tried to die, but life refused to yield

Now I give the earth a kiss, I lie down in the field

Been unclenching my fists, dropped my sword and my shield

Couldn't understand the point, couldn't understand the path

Couldn't roll a decent joint, maybe smoking too much grass

All alone with no one's help in a prison of the past

Hey, it ain't all bad, no, no, no

As a matter of fact, things are looking up

Time to clear the fog and roll into the rush, even if it seems too much

Things are looking up

I don't scar myself no more, now I just get tattoos

I like feeling the pain, I like seeing the proof

And when I get real bored, I stare out at the view

Feel my ribs open and close, watch my spark creep towards the fuse

Couldn't understand the point, couldn't understand the path

Couldn't roll a decent joint, maybe smoking too much grass

All alone with no one's help in a prison of the past

Hey, it ain't all bad, no, no, no

As a matter of fact, things are looking up

Time to clear the fog and roll into the rush, even if it seems too much

Things are looking up

Things are looking up
