Bring Me To Life

I’ve been breathing in a room without a window

Counting heartbeats like they’re trying to escape

I wear a smile like armor made of glass

One wrong touch and I will break -

I kept my pain in pretty little boxes

Labelled “fine”, “okay”, and “I don’t care”

But every night the truth comes crawling back

And leaves me naked in the air

And I don’t know when I disappeared

But I can’t feel anything anymore

I’m screaming in my silence

Still you don’t hear me at the door

Bring me to life

I’m drowning in a dream that’s killing me slow

Touch my soul, I can’t survive

If I’m only a ghost in my own bones

I’ve been dying inside

With my eyes wide open

Break these chains, tear through the night

Bring me to life

I can see you through the cracks in your façade

Even when you swear you’re made of stone

You keep bleeding like it’s normal to be empty

Like pain’s the only place you’ve known -

I won’t ask you to be strong for me

I won’t tell you to “just let it go”

I’ll stay right here inside your chaos

If it’s all you’re able to show

So let me in

Even if your hands are shaking

I’ll be the fire

When your soul is barely waking

Bring you to life

You’re drowning in a dream that’s killing you slow

Hold my hand, don’t close your eyes

You don’t have to be a ghost in your bones

You’ve been dying inside

But I’m still here hoping

Break these chains, tear through the night

I’ll bring you to life

I’m scared…

What if I’m too broken to be saved?

Then I’ll love you in pieces

Until you believe you’re whole.

Bring you to life

I’ll pull you out of the dark where you’ve been alone

Stay with me, you will survive

You’re more than the scars that you call your home

You’ve been dying inside

But now you’re waking

Break these chains, tear through the night

I’ll bring you to life

Bring me…

Bring me back…

I’ve got you.
