"take my life (back)" lyrics

"take my life (back)"

I carved my gravestone
Out of wood, I knew it'd rot
Hoping I'd turn to dust
So I could fly at last
See the world as particles
A little bit of all
Be everywhere, all at once
Like God

But then I came back to life
Nobody left to bury
I stored my casket
Underneath my bed
I slept soundly
Knowing nothing's changed
Except my mind

I
I think I'm ready to take my life
Back, back, back back
I think I'm ready to take back my life

I cut my memories off
Like hair and let it grow
It's so long now I could use it as a rope
Climb wherever I wanna go, whoa
I thought you changed me
Oh how I mourned whoever I was
Until I hurt me back to normal
Oh I hurt me back to normal, oh

Oh, I brought me back to life
Nobody left to bury
I stored my casket
Underneath my bed
I slept soundly
Knowing nothing's changed
Except my mind

I
I think I'm ready to take my life
Back, back, back back
I think I'm ready to take my life
Back, back, back back
I think I'm ready to take my life
Back, back, back back
I think I'm ready to take back my life

Back, back, back back
Back, back, back back
