[Verse 1]

I am standing like a road block

Buried in the side walk

I need something more than nothing

Something make me feel alive, alive


[Pre-Chorus]

I would die to feel alive

Hang me high and bleed me dry


[Chorus]

'Cause every door you closed

Every debt you owe

Is waiting there when you

Come back down

The pain and suffering

The truth you couldn't face

Is waiting there when you

Come back down


[Verse 2]

I am standing at a crossroad

Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun

I am breathing under water

In case my demons drag me down


[Pre-Chorus]

I would die to feel alive

Hang me high and bleed me dry


[Chorus]

'Cause every door you closed

Every debt you owe

Is waiting there when you

Come back down

The pain and suffering

The truth you couldn't face

Is waiting there when you

Come back down

Take me back to where I‘m from, from, from


[Talking]

My blackened fingertips

Push the judge and jury in

Let the iron spin one last time

I laid down in my bed

To dye the pillow crimson red

Turn my head inside out

I couldn‘t stand myself, but God

I was so eager to please

I gave away everything to make room for my disease

Lace your hands around my neck

Make a fist and steal my breath

I’ll praise your name and sign my name

One last time

Leave my skin on the floor

Kick the chair, stretch the cord

Till that part of me is gone for good

It‘s gone for good

It‘s gone for good

It‘s gone for good

It‘s gone for good

Bring me back to life!


[Instrumental]


[Chorus]

'Cause every door you closed

Every debt you owe

Is waiting there when you

Come back down

The pain and suffering

The child you couldn't save

Is waiting there when you

Come back

Come back

Come back down
