Select language to translate this lyric
how do I kill mercifully
all the folks I used to be
for one more shinning chance at life
I've never favored hand me downs
Id rather stand on my own ground
even if that causes pain stripe
but i know what you've come to do
I know you think you know whats true
I know you think it's best to build a wall
but even though our lives are dust
and mostly matters what you trust
second only if you trust at all
and i know nobody knows the way
so don't help me up
and don't help me down
well i've tried the soup
and i've tried the job
tried the loans to have it all
I know what it means to be anchored
but i was born to live at sea
with nothing out in front of me
where my trials are absorbed without rancor
now i've seen how you can be
I've seen how desperately
you've summoned all your evil powers
so why don't you leave me know
why don't you leave me how
god intended wildflowers
always open and far away
and don't help me up
and don't help me down
don't help me up
don't help me up
don't help me up
don't help me down
