Took My Life

Verse 1

Cold sweat, hands shake, I saw the void

Silent sirens, slipping, seconds destroyed

One word thoughts, then none

Flat line

Pulse lost, lights gone, done

But I clawed from that close collapse

Dragged myself, blackness snapped

Sirens sang but I spat 'No'

Shadows clutch, I won't let go

Casket called, I closed my eyes

Rain running, reckless lies

Breath skipped, bruised lips

Forgotten, but I rise

Chorus

I came back, broke through black

I came back, never cracked

I came back, took my life

Pulled from shadow, broke that night

I came back, I came back

Post-Chorus

Back from the edge, back from the edge

Nothing left, nothing left, but I live

Verse 2

Steel taste, glass in my gums

Pills poured, poison runs

One step from gone, one gasp gone wrong

Time froze, fear stands long

But I heard my name in the dark

Saw my mother, stitched heart

Blood thick, fists fight

I refused to depart

Woke up, hospital glare

Tube throat, blank stare

Heard whispers, "He won't survive"

But I'm still there

Chorus

I came back, broke through black

I came back, never cracked

I came back, took my life

Pulled from shadow, broke that night

I came back, I came back

Post-Chorus

Back from the edge, back from the edge

Nothing left, nothing left, but I live

Bridge

Did you pray for me?

Did you wait for me?

Still standing, hungry, angry

Did you hope? Did you search? Did you see?

Every wound, every wire, every IV

Still I breathe, still I breathe, still I breathe

Verse 3

Maybe fate failed, but I did not

Maybe pain, power, death forgot

I wake, I walk, I run again

New day, new scars, new brain

No halo, no hero

Still low, still feel

But I'm here, nervous, real

Second chance, steel grip, hot meal

Chorus

I came back, broke through black

I came back, never cracked

I came back, took my life

Pulled from shadow, broke that night

I came back, I came back

Outro

Back from the edge, back from the edge, back from the edge

Nothing left, nothing left, but I live
