Post-Chorus - No Guitar 2

Bridge, Part 1 - No Guitar 2
Come across you're lost and broken
You're coming to, but you're slow and waking
You Start to shake, you still haven't spoken, what happened
They're comin back and you just don't know it
and you wanna cry but there's nothing coming
They're gonna push until you give in
Say when
