Alive

(album: Great Heights & Nosedives - 2017)

I know there's highs and lows
And the lows just seem to get deeper
And fortune favors those who don't
Who don't even need her

I've been to hell this year
But I came back again
All of the things I feared
Just started happening

We made it, made it out alive
And though we're better off than before
This isn't what I paid for
We made it, made it out in time
So when the world weighs on your shoulders
Push back, don't let it hold you down

So keep your hands inside the ride climbs through landslides
Watch as the wheels fall off and drop and hope you'll be fine

I've been to hell this year
But I came back again
All of the things I feared
Just started happening to me

I know though none connected
It felt as though the once protective
Shell I grew through comfort faded
Left me bitter cold and still

We made it, made it out alive
And though we're better off than before
This isn't what I paid for
We made it, made it out in time
So when the world weighs on your shoulders
Push back, don't let it hold you down
don't let it hold you down

From great heights comes a nosedive
From mountains comes a landslide
From great heights comes a nosedive
From mountains comes a landslide

We made it, made it out alive
And though we're better off than before
This isn't what I paid for

We made it, made it out alive
And though we're better off than before
This isn't what I paid for
We made it, made it out in time
So when the world weighs on your shoulders
Push back, don't let it hold you down
And though we're better off than before
This isn't what I paid for now
So when the world weighs on your shoulders
Push back, don't let it hold you down
