The Smivets - Back in the Game

When I woke from that coma my perspective was shifted
Under a dead weight that couldn't be lifted
To tell you the truth I'd deduced it was permanent
Neck in a noose - neither use nor ornament
Well it depends how you draw the straw to the flame
Depends how you plot the shot in the frame
All to venture, all to gain
World ain't the same
'Less I'm back in the game

It's a heavy, heavy thing to discover
They kept you alive but your life is over
You can either give up and get crushed by the weight of it
Or claw yourself back up out of the pit
So I declined to wind up resigned to fail
Set my jaw to the roaring gale
No surrender, no yield to pain
No other ways remain
'Til I'm back in the game

So here I am back in the game once more
Better and stronger than I was before
Cause when your nine lives are down to 4 or 5
You find there's more to life than just being alive
So this is my statement of intent
I'm full time back from where I went
So long Mabel, goodbye Jane
Don't carve my name
Now I'm back in the game
