lyrics

Please steal the words from my mouth
Though it's too late to hear them now

Take a little time for yourself
Now there's no time for anyone else

Every little thought, a distraction
You take no action
Share no thought

Every little truth is a lie
Every you is an I
And you are gone

I consider the things that make me me
I consider I don't know anything

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Though it might seem like I'm wasting my time
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
And I'm making the best of me

You look back on the day
Feels so far away
Just like yesterday

You wonder what you could say
You were face to face
You looked away

They say every end is a new beginning
Well, what’s yours is mine
You say every word that I’ve just been thinking
You guess everything’s fine

I consider the things that make me me
I consider I don't know anything

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Though you may feel like I’m wasting your time
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
And you’re fading away from me

You are the one who can't speak your mind
You walk out the door, saying everything's fine
Invisible ink drawing lines down your face
You washed them away, leaving no trace
Unignorable thoughts reappear
A chorus of screams from a valley of fear
You take your time to the edge of the sea
You take your life from the world, you are free

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
To create a world of my own device
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
But that's all I'll ever be
