Can anybody hear me From the prison of my heart? I can feel the thunder But I cannot see the sky Somebody wake me Before I disappear inside Verse 2 They said the war was over But it followed me home Left my name in the ashes Left my soul in the smoke I remember fire falling I remember broken ground I remember calling out But I never heard a sound Now I lay here like a shadow With wires in my veins Every breath they give me Only feeds the pain Pre-Chorus I’m locked in the wreckage Of the man I used to be A ghost under blankets Begging to be free Chorus Am I still alive Or just breathing in the dark? Can anybody hear me From the prison of my heart? I can feel the thunder But I cannot see the sky Somebody wake me Before I disappear inside Build Section Acoustic guitar grows louder. Floor toms enter. Bass comes in low. I was a son I was a brother I had a face I had a name I had two hands I had tomorrow Now every sunrise Feels the same Heavy Turn Distorted guitars slam in. Drums get bigger. Don’t call this living Don’t call this grace Don’t call this mercy With wires in my face Don’t call this healing Don’t call this saved I’m not the hero I’m the grave Bridge Darkness all around me Steel beneath my skin I can hear them talking But they never let me in I can’t move the mountain I can’t raise my hand I’m screaming underwater In a war no one understands Breakdown Double kick begins slowly, then builds. I am trapped I am torn I am buried I am born I am pain I am breath I am life Begging death Gang vocals / crowd chant: Wake me! Wake me! Lead vocal: From the dark inside me! Gang vocals: Wake me! Wake me! Lead vocal: Or bury what’s left of me! Final Chorus Am I still alive Or just breathing in the dark? Can anybody hear me From the prison of my heart? I can feel the thunder But I cannot see the sky Somebody wake me Before I disappear inside Am I still alive Or just buried with a spark? Left here with the pieces Of a body and a heart If there’s mercy somewhere Let it find me where I lie Somebody wake me Before I disappear inside Outro (Music drops back down to acoustic guitar.) I woke up somewhere between A nightmare and a prayer Still breathing in the dark Still waiting for someone there
