'Cause I'm back to life Wake up the dead inside And learn to live in a world so cold Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh World so co-oh-oh-oh-old All my life I was told to step up to the plate All my life I was sold no way to educate 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 Oh-oh-oh-oh World so co-oh-oh-oh-old 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 (I'm still alive) World so co-oh-oh-oh-old (oh, yeah) World so co-oh-oh-oh-old
