Inside Job (Lyrics)

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready

Lyrics:

Underneath this smile lies everything
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame

make yourself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
just for today,... I am free

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

I know this one thing well,...

I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
breathing insecurity out and in

Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
pursuing the greater way for all,... human light.

How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.
How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

Holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul

Again.

Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again

Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today

Life comes from within your heart and desire
Life comes from within my heart and desire
Life comes from within your heart and desire

Great song. Very underrated.

One of their best songs, to me! Means a lot to me, especially these days...

Thank God for Mr. McCready.

One of the best.. lyrics mean so much

I wake up in the mornings and Say:
"How I choose to feel, Is how I am."

"How I choose to feel, Is how I am" is so entirely true

quoting craigb: thank god for mr. mccready.
