Back to Life - Vanessa Carlton

Lying in the dark, waiting patiently

Pill like a diamond, putting me to sleep

Black swan, I’ve become

I want to know no one

Bring me a stranger

On the eve of renaissance

Pendulum above my body swings

Know that I’m a living breathing thing

Slowly see the color in my eyes

Back to life, back to life

Waiting, hungry, a bird upon the sea

Under navy, the craving comes for me

Wait it out, it’s different now

The powers coming slowly

Touch my skin, it’s delicate

I can feel the change

Pendulum above my body swings

Know that I’m a living breathing thing

Slowly see the color in my eyes

Back to life, back to life

Back to—

Sight, sound

Touch me to find

Bad, good

Dead, alive

Slowly see the color in my eyes

Back to life, back to life

Pendulum above my body swings

Know that I’m a living breathing thing

Slowly see the color in my eyes

Back to life, back to life

Back to—
