Things were like the past Where I was falling the same way Going astray till I leave or forsake Weather was thunder Where we were strangers Whether a sinner Or not Losing my senses Put up defences I'm in the trenches So why can't I be fine To feel the fire burning deep inside Wake me from this life To see the things beneath what's black and white Going deeper and deeper into living See I've been craving for the same obsessions that are so appealing And I'd feign my ignorance so I can live my little lie But I die a little more inside So why can't I be fine To feel the fire burning deep inside Wake me from this life To see the things beneath what's black and white I see the light see the light In front of me and I See the light See the fullness of light I see the light See the light in front of me And I know that I'll go So why can't I be fine To feel the fire burning deep inside Wake me from this life To see the things beneath what's black and white So why can't I be fine To feel the fire burning deep inside Wake me from this life To see the things beneath what's black and white I see the light see the light In front of me and I See the light See the fullness of light
