right out of the darkest night
You came back down into warm sunlight
Any hope left had all been lost
They packed you up and then
When your life went black
Well it must have been big
Cause it brought you back
I wanna feel hope like you must feel now
Whatever it takes, get me out of my skin
You look like me but I know you're not
What you've been given can't be bought
If only I could be you just one time
So tie my body in oil and rags,
and take away everything I have
So I can feel what I know
when your life went black
Well it must have been big,
cause it brought you back
I want to know why, I want to know how I want
to feel hope like you must feel now
Whatever it takes to be out of my skin
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don't wanna walk on the water
I don't wanna stand in the fire
I don't wanna fly in the open
I don't wanna live in the light
I need to go blind in the blaze of light?
Do I need to turn black just to see why?
Let me be burned, let the waters rise
And tear me apart so that I can be whole
I wanna know why, I wanna know how
I wanna feel hope like he must feel now
Whatever it takes to be out of my skin
If I have to rain down just to feel again
