I cannot ever find a way
To throw these darkened thoughts away
Need a place to hide
It's thrown in my face every day
Guess that's the price I have to pay
For what's inside my mind

Alive, alive
Alive, alive
Alive, alive
Alive, alive

I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cried
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I died
Now I'm alive

Alive, alive
Alive, alive
Alive, alive
Alive, alive

Little things tick me every day
Constant pain is how I like to play
Better not cross that line
Voices in my head happened to say
It's something I can't throw away
What's inside my mind

I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cried
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I died
Now I'm alive

I bide my time, I'm intertwined
I'm falling in this place I thought I left behind
I bide my time, I'm intertwined
I'm falling in this place I thought I left behind

(Feeling) I bide my time, I'm intertwined
(So alone) I'm falling in this place I thought I left behind
(Feeling) I bide my time, I'm intertwined
(So alone) I'm falling in this place I thought I left behind

Alive, alive
Alive, alive

I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cried
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I died
Now I'm alive
