Dirty by Tony Winters Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm dirty, dirtier than you are
And I love it
It makes me strong
I've been grasping for way too long
So what truths could I hide in this song
Nothing was ever so well-planned or dreamed
No, not for the dirty and free

[Verse 2]
I'm holy, holier than you are
And I know it
It makes me love
I've seen endings, and beginnings, and nothings
So what else is there for me to know?
I don't have the patience to grow;
No, time wasn't meant for me
I'm dirty

[Chorus]
And I want to be alive, but there's no sign of me
I want to make it right, but there's no victory
I want to break the chains
But all the captives are free
[Verse 3]
I'm dirty, dirtier than you are
And I love it
It makes me feel alive
There's too many damned constellations
In this sky full of empty destinations
And I don't want to see every moonbeam
Just give me the savior's eyes

[Chorus]
And I want to be alive, but there's no sign of me
I want to make it right, but there's no victory
I want to break the chains
But all the captives are free

[Bridge]
And if there's no victory
What's the point in that?
I just want to conquer
But now the world is flat
It's not fair; it never was
(For what more has the wise man than the fool?)
There's no mountain looming over us
(What does the poor man have who knows how to walk among the world?)

[Verse 4]
I'm worthy, worthier than you are
I don't want to be
That's just the way it is
[Chorus]
And I want to be alive, but there's no sign of me
I want to make it right, but there's no victory
I want to break the chains
But all the captives are free

[Outro]
I'm dirtier than you will ever be!
Dirtier than you are
I'm dirtier than you are!

I applied my heart to know; to search and seek out wisdom, and the reason of things
