I'm not the beast they've made me out to be I've done some good things I've done some good things Like you, I've stumbled once or twice And done some bad things I've done some bad things My body is a thing corrupt and wrong It is guilty Yeah, it is guilty My spirit is the thing that's dragged along It is innocent Lord, it is innocent O, separate my body from my soul O, separate my body from my soul Let's go back to how things were back then When I was younger When I was younger Everything was either black or white It was easier So much easier Now everything, it looks so gray I'm older Now, I'm older Show me a man who deserves to die You cannot convince me You cannot convince me Now, show me a man who deserves to live You have no evidence You have no evidence O, separate my body from my soul O, separate my body from my soul I tried so hard to tell you truth But I lied to you I have lied to you The things that you learn and know so well They are fleeting Yes, they are fleeting You're the one who told me who I was You said you're no one So now I'm no one O, separate my body from my soul O, separate my body from my soul
