I take a breath and try to recollect Who I am and where I've been I don't recognize, my own face I don't even remember my name What doesn't kill you makes you weaker When you're hooked up to synthetic machines Just so you can breathe Am I sinking? Or just dreaming? Strapped in a vessel going nowhere I try to reach you but no words escape Can you blame me if I felt like giving it up? (Giving it up) Tell me this cold, dark winter won't last forever The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave To desist must be better than purgatory The cynic in me is telling you to leave But I can't justify the end of life with no goodbye It was just like a dream when I saw you in my bed Felt your hand latching on but no grip could be given back I see her in my room crying tears my endless sleep I trade places and faces so you wouldn't face it alone Because I am Strapped in a vessel going nowhere I try to reach you but no words escape Can you blame me if I felt like giving it up? (Giving it up) Tell me this cold, dark winter won't last forever Tell me this cold, dark winter won't last forever Leave me alive with the sharks unsure When I'm burning I must be I don't blame you if you'd leave The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and run I feel a hand reaching in my dream pulling me from purgatory
