John Kairis - Sword and Shield

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
