Lyrics Death in Reverse - John Mark McMillan

You descend upon me like a rolling stone
Like a black swan raging over all that I know
You know it unnerves me when I lose control
And I'm all out of options and I'm out of my head

And I built my life around
someone who I thought that I was
But it turns out, all the things I do to feel young
They only make me old

But you raise me like a baby
Like a fiery phoenix bird
Oh, and you lift me up like Lazarus
You love me like death in reverse

You unearth me like a vein of gold
With the powers that drive up the flowers from the fold
You cast me uncursed, unearth my body and my soul
Like fire from my ashes, like fire from my coals

And I built my life around
someone who I thought that I was
But it turns out, all the things I do to feel young
They only make me old

But you raise me like a baby
Like a fiery phoenix bird
Oh, and you lift me up like Lazarus
You love me like death
You love me like death
You love me like death in reverse

And all my life I've been fighting
for a place I could thrive
But it turns out, all the things I do to survive
They only make me old

But you raise me like a baby
Like a fiery phoenix bird
Oh, and you lift me up like Lazarus
You love me like death
You love me like death
You love me like death in reverse
