This Is Everything

In the wake of the storm
I was shaken, I was reborn
I got another shot, to make it to the top today
I’m pulling out the sutures
I’m ready for the future
I’m ready for the slings and arrows and the fortunes lost
There’s a voice that’s buried deep inside my head
When it stumbled out, it said
Hey, I got another chance
I was living like a zombie, head in a trance
Hey
And we’re slow, and life is all you know
And when it flashed before my eyes I realized
This is everything
Asleep in the daytime
Parked in the mainline
I was coasting by, like I had already died before
In the static of the city
Drowning in pity
Like a lost goodbye, I was fading in the sky alone
Till the day that shook me right down to the core
And pulled my body from the floor
