Bring Me Back Lyrics by Virus Inc
I wake up in the ruins of my name
Same face, but it don’t feel the same
You say my eyes went hollow and thin
Like something dark has lived in them
The mirror holds a stranger’s skin
A ghost where my warm pulse had been
I drag this shell through the day
While my old self fades away
And you call my name
Like a prayer through stone
But I’m slipping
Slipping below
Hands on my back
Still I sink too deep
You can feel it
You can’t pull me free
Bring me back
Bring me back
I’m gone too far
Bring me back
Bring me back
From this black scar
You wait at the door
You still believe
But depression
Took what was me
It steals the light from the common room
Turns every laugh into a tomb
My blood runs cold in a crowded place
Fear in my chest a terminal case
I hear the knives in my own head
I hear the lies I should be dead
And every step toward the edge
Feels like a dream I’ve already bled
And you reach for me
Through the storm and smoke
But I’m breaking
Bone by bone
You see the signs
I keep trying to hide
You’re still hoping
I’m still inside
Bring me back
Bring me back
I’m gone too far
Bring me back
Bring me back
From this black scar
You wait at the door
You still believe
But depression
Took what was me
If I could cut through the dark
If I could find the spark
I’d crawl back through the mud
I’d give you my shaking heart
Your tears fall like rain on stone
Your love is a wound I know
You keep calling me home
While I drift below
*Guitar Solo*
Bring me back
Bring me back
I’m gone too far
Bring me back
Bring me back
From this black scar
You wait at the door
You still believe
But depression
Took what was me
Bring me back
Bring me back
Call out my name
Bring me back
Bring me back
Before I fade
And if I can’t return
Let this be known
You loved me hard
When I was gone
