Truly Being 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.
I live for the hunger
Love is the pain of truly being alive
I guess I’m that sucker
Love is the pain of truly being alive
Reason loves only itself
Lucifer was always rational
I live for the hunger
Love is the pain of truly being alive
Swimming in the group soul
For the comfort of my mother
& the frustration
The performers in vain
The succeeders in pain
& impatient
Working in a heartbreak shop
& I’m just another angel
Bleeding in the basement
Waiting for the 8 o’clock train
So I could go home
& brush my hair
& go to sleep
To do it all over again
& then I stare into the currents
Of my being
Stare into the currents
Of what I’m seeing
I know that I’m sold
It’s too easy, easy, easy
I live for the hunger
Love is the pain of truly being alive
I guess I’m that sucker
Love is the pain of truly being alive
Reason loves only itself
Lucifer was always rational
I live for the hunger
Love is the pain of truly being alive
Truly being alive
Trying to be alive
Truly being alive
Trying be alive
Hold on
