lyrics

Suffocating in a hurricane,
Whirlwind motion, bring the pain or the gain.
I don't question You, I question myself, Lord.
Am I the one who keeps me buried in rain?

Stay with me, and bring the revolution back to its knees.
Oh, stay with me.

I'm unsure of which bridge to burn...
I laugh with a tear just waiting its turn.
And close my eyes, as I've memorized;
Let go of the ghost, but the ghost's got nine lives.

Lost in the flame of uncertainty's doubt,
It's a cancer that spreads, like a spark in the drought.
Blistered and burnt I turn from myself.
Dead as I am, I can't get this out.

Stay with me, and bring the revolution back to its knees.
Oh, stay with me.

I'm unsure of which bridge to burn...
I laugh with a tear just waiting its turn.
And close my eyes, as I've memorized;
Let go of the ghost, but the ghost's got nine lives.
