To Be Alive

from Cold Blooded by Seven Cities Dead

lyrics

How do you expect me to feel?
Not understanding what is real
Can’t get up from the floor
Wonder why we have no control
You collapse from the stress
Fear is all you have left
I try to take away the fucking pain
This has been all in vain

Our ambition has dissolved by
This disease we’ve been given
Devouring all our strength to fight away our dismay

We can’t erase, oh not this time
We can’t escape this life we’re living
We can't debase, oh not this time
We can't defeat if fear runs rampant

How do you expect me to feel, not understanding what is real?
Can’t get up from the floor
You collapse from the stress; fear is all you have left
I try to take away the pain
I use your fear to push and pull your thoughts and actions otherwise untamed
Controlling your right from wrong, little whispers magnetic face, with envy eyes

We advance through, trampling over all these broken souls
Easy to please those with empty minds, like wretched holes

We can’t erase, oh not this time
We can’t escape this life we’re living
We can't debase, oh not this time
We can't defeat if fear runs rampant

Our future is waiting in the footsteps in which we stand
Ah a bitter fate is never late, time will bend to fit your need
Replacing the foundation
Strung up from the rafters
Back broken, cut open, and bleeding out
Hello to the stigma that will beautify
Fault belongs to no one
The mortar is stripped away
Brick by brick we crumble and betray
Every solitary chance for tempered choses
Throw away only the falsified

The war inside
The flame burns out through the night
Can you manage to reignite?
If your deaf or blind
One lost sense does not define
What it means to be alive
To be alive
