I've been smoking on the peace pipe I've been wondering just what would peace be like I've been staring into headlights Swallow me whole, finding my peace of mind I'm just trying to seize the moment Trying to love the little things, even if they're hard to love A monument to love unspoken Carved into stone, unwilling to come undone It feels good to be running from the devil Another breath and I'm up another level It feels good to be up above the clouds It feels good for the first time in a long time now I remember back in Oakland I was lying there in rapture on the bathroom floor Moving hotel to hotel Out on the road, no idea really what's in store Light it up just like a flashlight Let it shine, let it rise just like a foreign sun Turn it over and it's capsized It's finally done, the battle's lost yet I feel I've won It feels good to be running from the devil Another breath and I'm up another level It feels good to be up above the clouds It feels good for the first time in a long time now It feels good for the first time in a long time now It feels good to be me I'm high, staring at the ceiling Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling What comes next, I see a light I'm along for the ride as I'm taking flight I'm high, staring at the ceiling Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling What comes next, I see a light I'm along for the ride as I'm taking flight It feels good to be running from the devil Another breath and I'm up another level It feels good to be up above the clouds It feels good for the first time in a long time now It feels good for the first time in a long time to be me It feels good for the first time in a while I'm free I'm high, staring at the ceiling Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling What comes next, I see a light I'm along for the ride as I'm taking flight
