I Will Rise

Oh, it's hard to wake from feeling 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 placing bets all over town
On how I'll die, but I will rise

And I grieve to death from losing you
Oh but I will rise, I will rise
Now I choke on ash like cheap perfume
Oh and I will rise, I will rise
Oh I'm scared to death of my own mind
Oh and I will rise, I will rise
And from the bottom of the well I hide
Oh and I will rise, I will rise

Now I'm king of the hounds
I wear shame like a crown
And they're placing bets all over town
On how I'll die, but I will rise

And I walk through hell and like the view
Oh and 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 placing bets all over town
On how I'll die, oh but I will rise
