How it feels to win
Standing at the bottom of the crater
looking up
you know that a cab ride's not so bad
hold on hold on
ride it out
this can't last forever
you know you'll be better
when you can
But here it comes again
the mouth of cloth and steel
your hands twist inside yourself
and this is how it
this is what it feels like
this is what it means
a turn on the wheel of sacrifice
and one more inch of skin
this is what it feels like
this is how it feels to win
Every single problem's
a solution in reverse
all you need is time to work it out
all that distant screaming's
just the pounding of your nerves
walk the ledge
but never look on down
But here it comes again
the last thing you forgave
you try to swim against the tide
but it's coming on in
this is what it feels like
this is what it means
a turn on the wheel of sacrifice
and one more inch of skin
this is what it feels like
this is how it feels to win
