I'm Alive

In the night I sit alone

Lifeless to a world I know

Faith lost long ago

In this graveyard, I'm calling home

Carved into the stone

A diary of broken bones

And words I should ignore

But this graves too deep to ever make it out

I'd do anything anything

Just to feel like I could reach the ground

I'd do anything anything now

To spread these wings somehow

I'd scream these words so loud

But they never make a sound

Chorus

I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now

So place my heart under the ground

Lay me down

I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now

So drag my lungs into the ground

Lay me down

In the night I sit alone

The stars rain on the world below

Beg me to explore

Cause these dreams I keep are no where to be found

I'd do anything anything

Just to stop this weight from pressing down

I'd do anything anything now

To spread these wings somehow

I'd scream these words so loud

But they never make a sound

Chorus

I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now

So place my heart under the ground

Lay me down

I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now

So drag my lungs into the ground

Lay me down

(Lay Me Down)

Deep enough so that

I'll never feel again

Far beneath any chance of breaking skin

I'm giving in

Under promise of smiles and happiness

It's a dream I'm not willing to admit

I'm not ready yet to face regret

No I'm not ready yet

I'm not ready yet

No, no, no

I'd do anything now

To spread these wings somehow

I'd scream these words so loud

But they never make a sound

Chorus

I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now

So place my heart under the ground

Lay me down

I'm alive, but I'm barely breathing now

Drag my lungs into the ground

Lay me down
