I'm alive
Alive
So you were six feet underneath me
I felt a pulse, I swear you moved
And digging deep, deep down
I recognized how much you had to lose
And if you wanna get out of here
Wanna get out of here
Save yourself
But you'll never get anywhere
Never get anywhere
Not without my help
(Say it with me)
I'm alive, I'm alive
When you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face
To your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied
'Cause you're living a lie, my friend
Say it with me
I'm alive, I'm alive
When you're dead inside
I'm your wake up call
And you know I'm right
So make a move
Let it bleed
Tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's is gonna
So how far did you go for shelter?
How long did it take you to find
A place to sell your providence
And to harm your peace of mind?
And if you wanna get out of here
Wanna get out of here
Save yourself
But you'll never get anywhere
Never get anywhere
Not without my help
(Say it with me)
I'm alive, I'm alive
When you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face
To your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied
'Cause you're living a lie, my friend
Say it with me
I'm alive, I'm alive
When you're dead inside
I'm your wake up call
And you know I'm right
So make a move
Let it bleed
Tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's is gonna
I'm alive, I'm alive
When you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face
To your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied
'Cause you're living a lie, my friend
Say it with me
I'm alive, I'm alive
When you're dead inside
I'm your wake up call
And you know I'm right
So make a move
Let it bleed
Tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
(I'm alive, I'm alive) I'm the one who's gonna save your life
(I'm alive, I'm alive) I'm the one who's gonna save your life
(I'm alive, I'm alive) I'm the one who's gonna save your life
(I'm alive, I'm alive) I'm the one who's gonna save your life
