Lyrics
Back To Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lying in the dark, waiting patiently
Pill like a diamond, putting me to sleep
Black swan, I’ve become
I want to know no one
Bring me a stranger
On the eve of renaissance
Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Waiting, hungry, a bird upon the sea
Under navy, the craving comes for me
Wait it out, it’s different now
The powers coming slowly
Touch my skin, it’s delicate
I can feel the change
Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Back to—
Sight, sound
Touch me to find
Bad, good
Dead, alive
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Back to—
