Funeral For My Past

Lyrics

[Refrain] Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah [Verse 1] I held a funeral for my past today Laid it in the ground where it's meant to stay With the roots, the dirt, pain and the hurt I held a funeral for my past today [Verse 2] I got down on my knees, dug up a mighty grave Made room for all the darkness, the anger, and the shame So deep it never haunts me, gone forever and always I held a funeral for my past today [Refrain] Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah [Verse 3] Well, I've been cutting roses, never thought this day would come Me and my shadow, we were living as one Every day I tried to fight it, my demons always won 'Til I stopped fighting 'Til I let the light in [Verse 4] Oh, and I could not help but tremble I could not help but cry There was something holy about it Just watching it die Right there, as I stood, right before my eyes Up from the ashes Up from the ashes, my phoenix did rise [Refrain] Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah [Outro] So come, gather round, what will you lay to rest? Whatever kills you slowly, don't give it one more breath Let it go, let it be, let it rest here in peace Lay it down at the funeral for your past today
