22 and I'm losing heart

Self defeat becomes my art

Deconstruct, decompose

Alive not living and so it goes

I'm alone, I'm alone

A broken boy left on his own

I'm alone, I'm alone

I'm the only one left in my home



This is the year that I die

How many times have I said goodbye

Farewell to my former life

Eyes closed hold tight

Look to the light, look to the light

How many times have I said goodbye

Farewell to my former life

Eyes closed hold tight

Look to the light, look to the light

I'm ready to die



Black nights and lowest lows

And so it goes, and so it goes

Black nights and lowest lows

And so it goes



27 and I'm feeling right

Cleared out the skulls and bones from my life

Dead to myself reborn who knows

A man proud of where he goes

You have to breathe to be alive

You have to suffer to survive

You have to breathe to be alive

You have to suffer to survive



This is the year that I die

How many times have I said goodbye

Farewell to my former life

Eyes closed hold tight

Look to the light, look to the light

How many times have I said goodbye

Farewell to my former life

Eyes closed hold tight

Look to the light, look to the light

I'm ready to die



You have to breathe to be alive

You have to breathe to be alive

You have to breathe to be alive

You have to breathe to be alive



Crawl out, crawl out of your grave

Stand to your feet amazed

You've made it, you're here

No ground, no dirt, no fear

Let the light become your own

Don't let the grave be your home
