The Resolution

Jack's Mannequin

There's a lot that I don't know

There's a lot that I'm still learning

When I think I'm letting go

I find my body it's still burning

And you hold me down

And you got me living in the past

Come on and pick me up

Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

Yeah I'm alive

But I don't need a witness

To know that I've survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need life

I'll be lying in the dark

As I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed

So I try living in the moment

For the moment it just froze

And I felt sick and so alone

I could hear the sound

Of your voice still ringing in my ear

I'm going underground

But you'll find me anywhere I fear

Yeah I'm alive

But I don't need a witness

To know that I've survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need life

I'll be lying in the dark

As I search for the resolution

I'll be lying in the dark

As I search for the resolution

The resolution

The resolution

And you hold me down

Yeah you hold me down

Yeah I'm alive

But I don't need a witness

To know that I've survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I'm alive

But I don't a witness

To know that I've survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need life

I'll be lying in the dark

As I search for the resolution

I'll be lying in the dark

As I search for the resolution

I need life

I need life

(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)

Resolution

(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)

Resolution

(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
