Return to Life - The Bends Lyrics

Into the center we fall, into the water they guide us
So we can once and for all leave this hell below us

Hold my breath and hope for the better
Hold my hand and tell me we can make it

What once was simple is now my greatest mistake
The hardest hours of my life are ahead
The line is drawn through the suspended earth around me
It's all that's left of my sight

To see home again is my only dream
Through the fabric of life we glide
With you and I side by side

Silent waters breathing upon me
The pressure is becoming unbearable
I teeter on the edge of my sanity
What's passed and what's ahead is confiding

Turn back but there's no way
Press on or die, no room left for error

Stuck in a loop of endless tunnels and bends
I feel like I have made no progress
The light at the end feels out of reach of my hands
And all the seconds seem like hours now

Hold my breath and hope for the better
Hold my hand and tell me we will make it now

Take my breath as I'm reborn into this world
I see the stars behind the veil of the night sky
The wondrous air of life consumes me
It's only me right here and now

The life I left behind is now what I believe in
To see this fate go by I'm grateful to have made it
I wait your turn to dance as one under the moonlight
But there is no one there behind me

To see home again is my only dream
Through the fabric of life we glide
With you and I side by side
To be one again is my only dream
Through the fabric of life I glide
I hoped you'd be by my side
