Freak the Mighty - Vindicated Lyrics

In those younger days, we filled a forest full of graves
Every skeleton you see, buried deep inside of me, has a name
But to you, they're all the same

But when the rain finally turned to snow
Still soiled with the dirt that you've thrown
After twenty long years that we've grown
I've finally learned how to love on my own

And our love went one of two ways, bending over sideways for ya
Out of phase, love crazed, I'm amazed we made it that far
Almost got to California
Born in the wrong age, trapped me in your bird cage
Still I meant every word that I swore to ya

But when the rain finally turned to snow...

Life's a game we keep playing on our knees, prayin' someone's looking out for us
The eye strain and migraines can't top the crushing pain
I felt when you said I wasn't good enough
Went dancing with the devil, tried to bring me to your level
Twisted like a f*cking pretzel, too burnt to trust
Six months of getting wasted, vindication I can taste it
But at the time, I just couldn't wake up
From the nightmare you created
Kicked me down to the pavement
Used my own f*cking tears for your make-up
Now I feel like a train on a f*ckin' highway
Run you over while I'm sober
Get ya outta my lane
A phoenix risin' from the dust and only flyin' up
This eight-year lake of tears is finally dryin' up

But when the rain finally turned to snow
Still soiled with the dirt that you've thrown
After twenty long years that we've grown
I've finally learned how to love on my own
