  • I lie awake on a long, dark night
    I can't seem to tame my mind
    Slings and arrows are killing me inside
    Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
    No, maybe I can't accept the life that's mine

    Simple living is my desperate cry
    Been trading love with indifference
    And yeah it suits me just fine
    I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
    Maybe that's why I feel alone
    Yeah, maybe that's why I feel so alone

    'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
    Barely holding together
    I'm covered with skin that peels and
    It just won't heal

    I'm rusted and weathered
    Barely holding together
    I'm covered with skin that peels and
    It just won't heal

    Naw, it just won't heal, no, no, no

    The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
    I think I'm holding on to life too tight
    Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
    Sometimes I feel like giving up
    Yeah, I said,
    Sometimes I feel like giving up

    'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
    Barely holding together
    I'm covered with skin that peels and
    It just won't heal
    I'm rusted and weathered
    Barely holding together
    I'm covered with skin that peels and
    It just won't heal
    It just won't heal, no

    The day reminds me of you
    The night hides your truth
    The earth is a voice
    Speaking to you
    Take all this pride
    And leave it behind
    'Cause one day it ends
    One day we die
    Believe what you will
    That is your right
    But I choose to win
    I choose to fight
    To fight

    'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
    Barely holding together
    I'm covered with skin that peels
    And it just won't heal

    I'm rusted and weathered
    Barely holding together
    I'm covered with skin that peels
    And it just won't,
    Covered with skin that peels
    And it just won't
    Covered with skin that peels
    And it just won't heal Writer/s: Mark Tremonti, Scott Stapp

  • Woodsman Sam from Northwestern PennsylvaniaDescribes my life perfectly right now
  • Courtney from Chesterfield, VaAlso my fav Creed song ever. I love it :D
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjMy favorite Creed Song, even though its off my least favorite Creed album. I could relate to it.
  • Carmine from Melville, NyAnyone that will post Creed Sucks and not saying anything to back it up just shows how intelligent they really are. This is probably my favorite Creed song and the sound definitely compliments the lyrics very well.
  • Adrian from Brookings, SdThe opening riff almost sounds country, not really a stretch I suppose since the band originated in Florida (despite the fact that Mark Tremonti is from Detroit). I hate country, but this is still a good song. The band was already headed downhill with this album, but this is one of the better tracks on it.
  • Joseph from Toastville, OhNO Creed does not suck. Shutup you dirty, dirty elitist.
  • Greg from Asheville, NcConisdering all creed songs, scott stapp's history, and the song itself... it definetly is religious. perhaps not an entirely Christian rock song, but it has religious implications
