Am I strong for not letting it weigh me down?
Or weak when it freezes me up?
"Keep the distance, don't touch the water"
If it's all or nothing, there's no choice for me
Don't break my fall, I've thought it all over
Educate myself with every bruise that I get
I've been running scared all my life
Plant my feet, face the tide coming strong
Face the tide coming strong
Blessed are the heart attacks
Every sudden shortness of breath
I want every one of them, I'll wear the scars
Anything over the bliss of ignorance
