Are You Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a moment where we all
have to choose to fly or fall
here's yours,
I see you staring at the sky
as the daylight slowly dies
but there's more, you'll find
what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?
It burns,it breaks
it wont give,when it takes
its not fair ,it's not always right
you can waste away
in a safer place
you'll get by
you'll survive
but are you alive?
are you really alive?
you try to find your better self
but you're becoming someone else
it's ok
though you're scared to be alone
think you're braver than you know
so dont fade away
what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?
it burns, it breaks
it wont give when it takes
its not fair, its not always right
you can waste away in a safer place
you'll get by, you'll survive
but are alive?
are you really alive?
you know you'll never be sure
what are you waiting for?
it burns it breaks
it wont give when it takes
its not fair, itw not always right
you cant waste away in a safer place
you'll get by, you'll survive
but are you alive?
are you really alive?
are you alive?
are you really alive?
