Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst   Like the banks of a swollen river   As bitterness does it's worst   Working on your feelings - eating you all up   But you have to shake that shit to move on   An' let love carry you on up -      (it's just) bitterness rising - taking you off   Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off      Unfair to give in - and never changes course   If you have the choice before you   You must take it with a force      Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth   As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth      (it's just) bitterness rising - taking you off   Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off      Moments in time   Finding the space   To be what'cha wanna be   The things you never got   Life you never had   The dreams that you once dreamed      Waiting your time - finding the space   To be what'cha wanna be   Well, just be!      Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth   As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth      (it's just) bitterness rising - taking you off   Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off
