Blistered (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two steps closer
A thousand steps away
Wait to the system
Until I know other way
My hands blistered
But now numb to the pain
My mind twisted
In this cruel democracy

[Refrain]
But now I'm free
Now I'm free

[Verse 2]
Feels like a thousand years
Taken from me
Choose my priorities
But they're shoved
In my face
My destiny in life
So far away
So far away

[Refrain]
But now I'm free
Now I'm free
See Creed Live
Get tickets as low as $25
[Chorus]
Oh, I guess it was a good ride
But looking back I feel the same
I guess it was a last time, no regrets
Who's to blame?
Show me how to live my life now
Very different from my own
A simple explanation
Further from the torn hole

I'm leaving now
I said I'm leaving now
I said I'm leaving now
And I got no place to go

[Bridge]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I said I'm leaving now
I said I'm leaving now
I said I'm leaving now
And I got no place to go

[Outro]
But now I'm free
Now I'm free
Now I'm free, yeah
Now I'm free, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The first of the three unreleased demos featured on the “With Arms Wide Open: A Retrospective” compilation album.

As the album had no information on when this song was recorded it can be assumed it was recorded during the sessions for My Own Prison due to its sound and lyrics.

The lyrics could reflect on the day Scott Stapp left his home as a teenager to try life on his own by living in his friends closet at the university his friend attended only to be kicked out by the schools officials.
