Live Again

(album: Umbra - 2021)

Broke down in the waiting room
It's been 30 days since I've talked to you
Dying, frozen while I'm watching you
Through your breathing tube, and it's only bad news
I'm somewhere on 10th and Spruce
Getting city air, need to walk a few
With a full moon and a shitty mood
It starts sinking in that you're leaving soon

Saints all around you
Trading in back rooms
Dealing in blood and lies to save you now
(Still I pray you)

Stick around, breathing in
Let me drown so you can swim again
Pull you out, let me in
Take my heart so we can live again

Tell me why's god got it out for you?
Is he bored up there? Is his ego bruised?
No way I'll be leaving you
Until we laugh again like we used to do
I'll stay here until you make it through
And there's no more nights in this ICU
Give me the suffering, shuddering, thundering pain
Take my vision, love, lungs away
Tell me how long until the bitter end?
Until he takes you home? Until he walks you in?
Praying those eyes open again
Screaming "Take me now, let me die instead"

Saints all around you
Trading in back rooms
Dealing in blood and lies to save you now
(Still I pray you)

Stick around, breathing in
Let me drown so you can swim again
Pull you out, let me in
Take my heart so we can live again

In all the stars you break like sugar dust
Are you lost?
And what's it like on the other side of us?
Is it dark?

Pull you out, let me in
Take my heart so we can live again
Stick around, breathing in
Let me drown so you can swim again
Pull you out, let me in
Take my heart so we can live again

I'm living again
(And we'll start to live again, like meteors shimmering)
I'll be here waiting
(I will be here waiting)
Until you're back to me again, again, again
Run back to me again, again, again
I will be here waiting
