Fear of wounds from the past A broken man unearthed once again Fear of unending convalescence Stemmed from the spine of circumstance Lingering pain of mistakes made in youth Physical nightmares Please forgive me, my corporeal self My judgement was clouded And now I am the better man That I should have been back then People say I'm lucky that I still breathe A part of me died that day They should of left me there, beneath the trees

Spine
Fear of wounds from the past A broken man unearthed once again Fear of unending convalescence Stemmed from the spine of circumstance Lingering pain of mistakes made in youth Physical nightmares Please forgive me, my corporeal self My judgement was clouded And now I am the better man That I should have been back then People say I'm lucky that I still breathe A part of me died that day They should of left me there, beneath the trees
