[Intro – Haunting piano, distant strings, whispered female vocals] I've been sleeping with my eyes open I've been breathing without air There's a heartbeat in the silence But I don't know if it's there [Soft distorted guitar swells] Am I still here? Am I still here? [Verse 1 – Fragile, intimate vocals, sparse piano] I watch the seasons through the window Like a picture on the wall Everybody keeps on changing I don't feel a thing at all There's a photograph beside me Of a girl I used to know She had fire behind her eyelids Where did all that fire go? [Pre-Chorus – Strings rising, drums entering] I can hear the world around me I can see the colors fade If there's something left inside me Why won't it wake? [Chorus – Explosive distorted guitars, soaring vocals, layered choir] TEACH ME HOW TO FEEL AGAIN! Break the silence underneath my skin! I've been alive but I've never been living Holding on to something that's missing! WAKE ME FROM THIS ENDLESS DREAM! Let the pain come crashing over me! I'd rather break than disappear I'd rather hurt than feel nothing here! Teach me how to feel... Again! [Post-Chorus – Heavy guitar riff, distant choral echoes] (Ooh, ahh) Again! (Ooh, ahh) Make me feel again! [Verse 2 – Piano returns, restrained rhythm section] I used to cry when it was raining Now I barely hear the storm I've been standing in the wreckage Of a life I can't restore Every mirror holds a stranger Every memory feels borrowed And I keep waiting for a feeling That never comes tomorrow [Pre-Chorus – Drums building, harmonized female vocals] If I scream into the darkness Will the darkness scream my name? If my heart is only sleeping Can it wake? [Chorus – Full band, heavier guitars, choral harmonies] TEACH ME HOW TO FEEL AGAIN! Break the silence underneath my skin! I've been alive but I've never been living Holding on to something that's missing! WAKE ME FROM THIS ENDLESS DREAM! Let the pain come crashing over me! I'd rather break than disappear I'd rather hurt than feel nothing here! Teach me how to feel... Again! [Instrumental Break – Low-tuned guitars, pounding toms, cinematic strings] [Heavy syncopated riff] [Distorted guitar melody rises over the piano theme] [Sudden silence] [Bridge – Barely whispered over lonely piano] Maybe I was never empty Maybe I was just afraid Of every beautiful disaster Of everything that couldn't stay [Voice begins trembling] I buried all my sorrow I buried all my love I thought that I was healing When I was giving up [Strings swell, heartbeat-like drums] But somewhere in the wreckage Something's breaking through And for the first time in forever I can feel it too... [Breakdown – Explosive guitars, raw desperate vocal] LET IT HURT! LET IT BLEED! LET IT TEAR RIGHT THROUGH ME! LET IT BURN! LET ME SCREAM! I'M STILL HERE! I'M STILL BREATHING! [Full-band stop] I'm still... Here... [Final Chorus – Epic, soaring high-register vocals, choir, double-tracked guitars] TEACH ME HOW TO FEEL AGAIN! LET THE LIGHT COME POURING IN! I've been alive and I'm finally living Finding every piece I've been missing! WAKE ME FROM THIS ENDLESS DREAM! LET THE WHOLE WORLD CRASH INTO ME! I'd rather break than disappear! I'M NOT AFRAID OF FEELING HERE! [Extended Final Chorus – Higher harmony, massive drums, choir swelling] TEACH ME HOW TO FEEL AGAIN! Even if it hurts, even if it ends! Let the thunder shake these walls Let me rise and let me fall! WAKE ME FROM THIS ENDLESS DREAM! There's a thousand things inside of me! And every tear I've held for years Is finally falling... [Outro – Repeated soaring hook, gradually fading guitars and choir] I can feel again! (I can feel again!) I can feel again! (Even if it hurts!) I can feel again! (I can feel again!) I'm still here... I'm still here... I'm still here... [Distortion slowly fades into the original haunting piano melody] [Final whispered female vocal] And that's enough.
