I've been here, in this place I've been sunk, in this space Like a ghost that's been missing time Silent words, in my mouth Now they won't, scream out And I leave, my own shadow behind In my heart and out of my mind I'll go but I won't go quietly Go down but I'll go down fighting Don't know where, don't know what But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll show who I am from the inside Gonna take my walk on the wild side Don't know where, don't know what But I can't go back, back to the way I was Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, no I can't go back, back to the way I was I'm the leaf, I'm a seed That's been waiting for spring I'm a god, reinventing itself We might fall, we might rise We are all butterflies Breaking free from our charms on the shelf Finding out the truth for ourselves I'll go but I won't go quietly Go down but I'll go down fighting Don't know where, don't know what But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll show who I am from the inside Gonna take my walk on the wild side Don't know where, don't know what But I can't go back, back to the way I was Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, no I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll go but I won't go quietly Go down but I'll go down fighting Could be hurt, could be loved But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll go but I won't go quietly Go down but I'll go down fighting Don't know where, don't know what But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll show who I am from the inside Gonna take my walk on the wild side Don't know where, don't know what But I can't go back, back to the way I was Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, no I can't go back, back to the way I was
