Good as Hell
paul rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Broke free from your chains and the things that used to hold me back
You've lost the grip but I feel the print from your hand
Now I'm finally able to figure it out and
Understand
Who I am

Took control even though I thought I was too late
On the right track, but I was going the wrong way
They say dig where you stand
But I can't stay
And dig my own grave,
Today I say

I feel like screaming till my lungs have no air
Feel like running, though I don't know where
Feel like laughing till I'm drowning in tears
For the first time in years I feel...

I feel good as hell...

Broker than most though I feel richer than them all
Counting blessings as the rain begins to fall
Growing stronger, holding on to what I
Want
But I won't

Brake down, hold my chin high never face down
That same old path again
Promise I will never look back again, cause...

I feel like screaming till my lungs have no air
Feel like running, though I don't know where
Feel like laughing till I'm drowning in tears
For the first time in years I feel...

I feel good as hell...
I feel good as hell...
I feel good as hell...
For the first time in years I feel good as hell

And I won't come down
Cause now I'm headed up
I can show you how
If you had enough
(just) pick yourself up
From the ground
Don't you think of
Giving up now
Let's walk down this road cause I know

I feel like screaming till my lungs have no air
Feel like running, though I don't know where
Feel like laughing till I'm drowning in tears
For the first time in years I feel...

I feel good as hell...
I feel good as hell...




I feel good as hell...
For the first time in years I feel good as hell
