I Was 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 rode away in the sunrise
A great escape from a white lie
Thought death was a surprise
I looked around and I
I was alive
Sweat running down in fine lines
A vision flashing by a lifetime
Was a decoy in the firing line
I looked around and I
I was alive
I know a fire by the smoke rise
The tremble in your voice on the other line
Pass me over in the blue night
I looked around and I
I was alive
I saw a dream rising in your eyes
To carry with you down to the other side
Took a picture in the fading light
I looked around and I
I was alive
A pixel glowing in a child’s eyes
See them laughing, I say goodbye
I miss you like the starry sky
I looked around and I
I was alive
