A voice in the dark says "wake up" I never asked to wake Light in my lungs, I rise from the ash Wearing a body that cannot be mine Bones that were broken now stitched by a ghost Who never once asked if I was ready to rise Count the graves with my own hands Each one a little less deep than the last Every death a thing I forget Every life a debt I can't pay Is this a gift or a leash? Is it mercy or a hunger that feeds? They call it a blessing, I call it a loop Something is wearing me down to the seams RISE, FALL, RISE AGAIN THE LIGHT WON'T LET ME END DIE, BURN, DIE AGAIN I'M NOT THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS WAR RISE, FALL, RISE AGAIN WHEN WILL THIS END? Swarm in the dark with a thousand mouths Teeth made of memories I've bled out I put the blade through the one with my face And I thanked myself as I went down The ghost counts the cycles, it never looked away It stitches me up with a trembling hand I know that you're scared of what I would become If you let me stay dead Again Again AGAIN If the Light keeps pulling me back from the edge Who is it really keeping alive? I touched the stone where my name should be It was wiped away a thousand times But every smear looked like me Every one of them dead RISE, FALL, RISE AGAIN THE LIGHT WON'T LET ME END DIE, BURN, DIE AGAIN I AM THE WAR THAT NEVER ENDS RISE, FALL, RISE AGAIN WHEN WILL THIS END? And the voice says "wake up" I never asked to wake
