And when I was in my darkest places
I thought I was dead
And when my eyes were closed and you weren't there
I thought I was dead
And when the waters rose and they buried my head
I thought I was dead
And when my lungs couldn't take in any more air
I thought I was dead
And when the laughter crept back into the streets
I rise from the dead
And when the sweetness washes off the lies
I rise from the dead
And now I'm free, I've broken your hold on me
And now I emerge
So I emerge from my dark places
Where I thought I was dead
