So I've been gone
Away for a while
Life wasn't good
Nothing made me smile
My lips didn't twitch
My heart didn't beat
My mind didn't think
I was incomplete
But now I've returned
I came back from the grave
I'm feeling alright now!
I'm no longer life's slave.
That's what I tell them
That's what I'll say
But I forgot how to feel
My emotions went away
How do you scream?
And how do you fear?
How do you love?
I couldn't tell you my dear
I miss it
I miss it
I miss knowing how to feel
All that's left of me
Is a hollow shell
I know
I'd be terrified
If I only knew how.

So I've been gone
Away for a while
Life wasn't good
Nothing made me smile
My lips didn't twitch
My heart didn't beat
My mind didn't think
I was incomplete
But now I've returned
I came back from the grave
I'm feeling alright now!
I'm no longer life's slave.
That's what I tell them
That's what I'll say
But I forgot how to feel
My emotions went away
How do you scream?
And how do you fear?
How do you love?
I couldn't tell you my dear
I miss it
I miss it
I miss knowing how to feel
All that's left of me
Is a hollow shell
I know
I'd be terrified
If I only knew how.
