Resurrection
The Temper Trapⴀ Lyrics

In the cold stone walls
In a place where everything is hard and unfeeling

House where the fleeting dead fall
A place where people pass quickly away

A mother
A woman who has lost her child

Is crying
Is deeply upset and emotional

Outside
Not inside the same four walls where tragedy has occurred

In the darkest of hours
At a time when things seem impossible

Left with her perilous thoughts
Forced to confront her fears

They circle
Her thoughts revolve around the same issues

To squeeze dry
Until she can't take it anymore

Her soul
Her innermost being

She said
Expressed herself out loud

Lord, Imma' lose my baby
I'm afraid I'm going to lose my child

Lord, Imma' lose my way
I'm afraid I'm going to lose my direction

But if
However, in spite of these fears

Living means I'm dead here
If I have to stay in this living but unbearable situation, it's like being dead

Come hurry
Quickly come and help me

And resurrect me
Bring me back to life

When the sun goes down
In the evening

Into another night's arms
As if being wrapped in a blanket of darkness every night

We're babies
We're vulnerable and not fully prepared for life

In a scavenger's glimpse
In a momentary and fleeting way

Then a neon cross shines
A symbol of hope shines and guides us

And shows us to tread on the line
Leads us along a certain path to follow

Of guilt trips
Of feeling responsible for things that may not be our fault

While love grips
While we feel the overwhelming force of love

The blind
Those who can't see clearly or understand everything

I said
I expressed myself out loud

Lord, Imma' lose my head here
I'm afraid I'm going to lose control or sanity

But if pushing means I'm stuck here
If I can't move on without pushing through

Come hurry and resurrect me
Please come and revive me

Imma' drop my head
I'm going to give up

Before I'm ready to stop
Before I've done all that I can or want to do

Imma' dig that grave
I'm going to give in to despair and hopelessness

And fall in line for the drop
And accept the inevitable demise

If I'm ready or not
Whether I'm prepared or not

I'm going to ride my time
I'm going to try to make the most of the time I have

Before they throw out the clock
Before time runs out and it's too late to do anything

Charge you burn by the hour
Make you pay for every second of existence

Make you pay for the drop
Make you pay for everything until the very end

Lord we're gonna lose our heads here
We're all in danger of losing our minds

Imma' dig that grave
I'm still accepting that it may all end badly
