F#
My life
E
Charred remains of a flame that's burned out
D
My lips move but they won't make a sound
C#
I stand motionless, eyes to the ground
F#
Back for more
E
With reopened scars i remain
D
Battered savagely, knees start to shake
C#
I just stand there, I take it, I wait
[chorus]
C# D E
I'm just waiting for time to erase
E F# A D
And the world to change
E F#
Until then I will strive for nothing more
D E
I'll just wait for my heart to break
F# A D E F#
And arise from ash, reborn reborn
F#
Look at me
E
Cut my eye and allow me to see
D
What my life has become on my knees
C#
oh I hear the screams, I watch myself bleed
But ? can't feel a thing
F#
What am I
E
But a victim unwilling to rise
D
Wretched shell of a man and his pride
C#
Why stop living, I'm just waiting to die

But who am I, and what am I waiting for anyway....
