It was like the goal
Was to watch me drown and suffocate
And watch the light
Inside my eyes fade away
For years I lived
Just like a ghost
The shadow of a man
That I used to know
Feeling heartless and lifeless
There's no tomorrow
Feeling careless and soulless
I need to let go
'Cause I'm back to life
Wake up the dead inside
'Cause I'm ready to live
I see it clear
Won't live in fear
Learn to live in a world so cold
What you know about the dark nights?
Waking up, cold sweats
Seeing devils in the low light
What you know about my life?
What you know about the choice
That depends on gun and knife?
Seen through my lens
Death always on the brain
And pain that never ends
Sick of living on the edge
I see the faces of the dead
And I'm following where they land
For years I lived
Just like a ghost
The shadow of a man
That I used to know
Feeling heartless and lifeless
There's no tomorrow
Feeling careless and soulless
I need to let go
'Cause I'm back to life
Wake up the dead inside
'Cause I'm ready to live
I see it clear
Won't live in fear
Learn to live in a world so cold
Oh oh oh oh oh
World so co-oh-oh-oh-old
World so co-oh-oh-oh-old
World so co-oh-oh-oh-old
Watch as my spirit comes alive
The strength inside won't be denied
From the darkness I arise
I know I will survive
'Cause I'm back to life
Wake up the dead inside
'Cause I'm ready to live
I see it clear
Won't live in fear
Learn to live in a world so cold
Oh oh oh oh oh
World so co-oh-oh-oh-old (yeah, I'm still alive)
World so co-oh-oh-oh-old (oh, yeah)
World so co-oh-oh-oh-old
