[Verse 1]
Well, they left me here to rot
Comatose, greying
I thought that I could be a martyr
But I’ve been growing impatient
Do you miss me now I’m gone?
Just a dormant volcano
With a stomach full of sulphur
Ready to spit through my halo

[Pre-Chorus]
Reanimate my corpse
Direct the blood to my core
Peel back the moss and the orchids
That formed in my torn skin
Find me revived on the shore
Bloated and begging for more
Wake me up, ’cause I’ve been dreaming
Time to bloom, my heart is healing

[Chorus]
Out of the dark
The night was long but didn’t phase me
Pull me apart
And put the pieces back to save me

[Verse 2]
Do you remember? (Remember)
I tried to give up on myself
But the tip of the ember (Ember)
Was enough to spark a flame
Now all the woe in the world couldn’t stop me
I went to hell, but the devil didn’t want me
I am revived

[Pre-Chorus]
Could you reanimate my corpse?

Dig up the body they mourned
Shake off the roots, I’m not dead yet
I’m not dead yet

[Chorus]
Out of the dark
The night was long but didn’t phase me
Pull me apart
And put the pieces back to save me
Uncover my heart
And plant a seed where I was empty
Pull me apart
And put my pieces back to save me

[Verse 3]
When they left me here to rust
Dripping blood, decaying
There was a chance that I was just
A damp spark, a flash in the maelstrom
Do you miss me now I’m gone?
Just a dormant volcano
With a stomach full of sulphur
Ready to spit through my halo

[Outro]
Reanimate my corpse
