living while dead

[Verse] I'm waking up, I cannot see What's become of me? A horrible silence grips hold Of a soul already sold No breath escapes these frozen lungs No beating heart, no whispered tongue I call my name into the void... But only silence fills the noise [pre-chorus] Living just to die Dying just to live Living just to die... Dying just to live... My body is my own prison! [Chorus] I'm living while dead! This cannot be! I'm trapped forever... Inside of me! I'm living while dead! living while dead [Verse 2] oh, please god—wake me! oh god, please wake me! this can't be... happening! set my spirit free! i hear the crying all around... yet no one hears my voice! i'm a prisoner of death itself... without a single choice! [wicked guitar solo|30 seconds| diatonic scale] [pre-chorus] Living just to die Dying just to live Living just to die... Dying just to live... someone wake me from this hell! [Chorus] I'm living while dead! This cannot be! I'm trapped forever... Inside of me! I'm living while dead! living while dead [Final Chorus] I'm living while dead! This cannot be! The coffin closes... On what's left of me! I'm living while dead! Hear the preacher pray... The dirt keeps falling... As they walk away... I'm living while dead! Forgotten below... Six feet of silence... Is all I'll ever know...
