Back From The Dead Lyrics

Years ago, I was fragile and serene,

Love wasn't a fear

I gave my heart, uscarred and pristine,

To a person, dear

Strung along for lurid satisfaction

Broken before long

Like a wedding dress in a trash bin,

Loved for just one dawn

Who I thought was my loving mystic,

Was my nemesis

Their interest purely hedonistic,

My Genesis

I should have known but I was a fool

Too young to understand I was a tool

Used like a doll and left to rot

But it's time to find what I forgot

For the first time in years, my heartbeat fluttered,

From inside a coffin nailed closed and shuttered

I can be more than a doll unthread

Remove the stake and come back from the dead

There's things that hurt us and strike us down,

A stake in the heart

But we have to recuperate from the swound

And have a new start

There's more to life than hatred and pain

I have to release,

All the wounds others caused and regain,

A deep inner peace

Punishing others is punishing yourself

They didn't cause hurt

Taking your heart and placing it on a shelf,

Makes you a monster

I should have known but I was a fool

Too young to understand I was a tool

Used like a doll and left to rot

But it's time to find what I forgot

For the first time in years, my heartbeat fluttered,

From inside a coffin nailed closed and shuttered

I can be more than a doll unthread

Remove the stake and come back from the dead

I can be more

They can't keep me chained

Open the door,

Free and no longer restrained

For the first time in years, my heartbeat fluttered,

From inside a coffin nailed closed and shuttered

I can be more than a doll unthread

Remove the stake and come back from the dead
