I've held on to my comfort like a blanket to cover my head
To go outside would mean to love and I'd rather be numb instead
But I've been afraid for too long
I think it's time to go outside
To rise up from the ashes I've got to be willing to die
So take me down and bury me beneath the weight of suffering
I'm going to give you what I cannot keep
When you raise me up from this grave I will never lose what I have gained
Take me down and bury me
I tried to gain my life and lost it
I'd give it all to be with you again
I'd welcome pain from your hand like a long lost friend
So cover me in ashes
Bury me and I will find you there
I'm not afraid when you are near
