You asked me, if I live without her I choke on my reply Let the blind man at the mirror spin his lie
And I'm damned if I don't try Damned if I don't try But no matter what I say It doesn't go away at all And I'm still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid Of a consequence that I could have made But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe But the only way to holler is by letting go Still unable to get free
With cork and wax I try my best To spackle in the hole The inevitable aging of my soul
And my heart it gets so tired It's my heart and it gets so tired It's just a trace to track my pain The beat that I sustain for hoping And I am still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid Of a consequence that I could have made But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe And the only way to holler is by letting go Still unable to get free
Ooh, I see connections Ooh, in my contention That I could see redemption Through the bars of this cage
And I don't know what to do Said, I don't know what to do For accepting sight unseen So basically I dream of some day When I won't still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid Of a consequence that I could have made But having to accept this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe And the only way to holler is by letting go Still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid Of a consequence that I could have made But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe And the only way to holler is by letting go Still unable to get free
