[Verse 1]
Here you are, a broken weary soul
With no place left to go
Godforsaken, I can't watch this anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
In the wake
Dead among the living
[Chorus]
When will you realize and see the light?
You're meant for so much more
You're like the dead among the living
[Verse 2]
So tell me what it is you fail to see
Or is this all on me?
You are so much more than who you choose to be
[Pre-Chorus]
In the wake
Dead among the living
[Chorus]
When will you realize and see the light?
You're meant for so much more
You're like the dead among the living
[Bridge]
In spite of the waiting
I hold out that you might just take control
Never forsaking
For you might just wake up let to us know
You're coming home
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Here you are, a broken weary soul
No place left to go
Godforsaken, I can't watch this anymore
[Chorus]
When will you realize and see the light?
You're meant for so much more
You're like the dead among the living

Myles Kennedy:
As soon as Mark sent it, I thought it was really groovy. Lyrically, it’s about somebody who gave up on life. This person fails to see his true potential, so you ultimately challenge him to live again. Our fans like this theme, and we’ve had a few of these ‘rock 'n’ roll Tony Robbins'...
