Lyrics

“Look Alive”


(Verse)

Look alive, cause there’s so much here, for you to see


What’s a life, but a faded book, full of memories


From the start, all the faces, times, and the things we’ve seen


Cast aside, all the poison minds, that we will never be


(pre chorus)

Had to cry for all the things that could not be

Why

All the while I was just smiling like I’m free

I’m not the only one,

I’m here until I’m gone


(Chorus)

All I feel in my mind, is what I lost yesterday, but I try

But what I need, in my life, is headed in a another way, all this time

I’m feeling so far away

So far away, yeah

Twice as hard to be defeated


(2nd verse)

Speak your mind, cause I just don’t care, if it’s not what you feel


Walk on by, take another look, at what you wanna be


My advice, never make your mark, without a heart to feel


From the top, it’s a lonely fall, and crowns are make believe


(pre chorus)

Had to cry for all the things that could not be

Why

All the while I was just smiling like I’m free

I’m not the only one,
I’m here until I’m gone


(Chorus II)

All I feel in my mind, is what I lost yesterday, but I try

But what I need, in my life, is headed in a another way, all this time

I’m feeling so far away

So far away, yeah

Twice as hard to be defeated



(Outro section)

Feeling so down, and it’s way too high, and I’m starting to regret it, every time I try

Got no feeling, gone bad inside, and I really can’t remember when I felt alive?

But I’ll get back up, and I’ll fight my pain, until every single ghost in me’s released its claim

What I feel in my mind, what I lost yesterday

But I try

twice as hard to live defeated

Feeling so far away

twice as hard to live defeated

What I need, in my life, is headed in another way, all this time

Twice as hard to live defeated

Living so far away, so far away, but I try

Twice as hard to live defeated
