Alive Lyrics

See the people going by

Losing track of ceasing time

Losing hope I can survive

See the people going by

Losing track of ceasing time

Losing hope I'll save my life

Time passes by and I close the curtains

Nothin's workin', but it ain't the clothes for certain

I just can't seem to find what's the cause of me hurting

The demons are lurking in my mind

And I'm blind to the purpose that's supposed to define me

My life is a circus and I'm just the clown here

My impact's benign, nothing but a surplus

I need to redefine myself to not remain worthless

Nobody on my side, I'm fighting on my own

The hurdles in my way keep breaking my bones

The tide ain't turning, I got to walk alone

While I'm learning to guide myself into the unknown

Where maybe I could be freed from the weight on my shoulders

But every step I'm taking it gets colder and my heartbeats getting slower,

I don't think I can escape, so those drapes are there

To hide away mistakes that I have made

See the people going by

Losing track of ceasing time

Losing hope I can survive

And keep my spirit

See the people going by

Losing track of ceasing time

Losing hope I'll save myself

And keep my spirit

Alive

Keep, keep my spirit alive

I've got to keep myself

Alive

Keep my spirit alive, alive

Can't take the stares of the people around me

Rather surround myself with memories of the time when had it

Was an addict to good ideas that allowed me to sleep soundly

It's a jacket that I wear to pretend that I'm not out it

But my present's catching up to me in time

Can't keep up the masquerade saying I feel sublime

I slowly fall in line with the character I've been trying to evade

I'm not designed to portray my old self that's passed away

The residual facade keeps crumbling and I'm trying

To hold on while my feet keep stumbling

A part of me can't wait 'till it crashes to the ground

Maybe I'll be woken up by the piercing sound

There is just no guarantee I can come around from disparity

But at this point I see no way for me to change up

The driving force that is putting me in the dirt

I'll have to get rid of this decrepit shirt

See the people going by

Losing track of ceasing time

Losing hope I can survive

And keep my spirit

See the people going by

Losing track of ceasing time

Losing hope I'll save myself

And keep my spirit

Alive

Keep, keep my spirit alive

I've got to keep myself

Alive

Keep my spirit alive, alive
