Polluted Spirit

Just a polluted spirit 
Still afloat 
Still free 
You've shaken 
You've rattled 
You shattered me 
You've torn
You've pushed 
You've battered me
I'm still free, oh, I'm still free 
This is me, oh, this is me 
But I've embraced the insanity 
Thought my life would end 
But I took it in my hand 
Guided it
Mangled it 
Turned it around
Took the bad 
And took the evil 
Didn't let it bring me down 
I'm still free, oh, I'm still free 
This is me, oh, this is me 
Overcame constant fear 
All worn but not broken 
Come out a better man
A free mind 
A free soul
A free person as a whole 
Going to live 
Going to die 
Going to be still free 
This is me, oh, this is me 
Free to be, oh, free like me
