Alive

(album: A Song That Never Ends - 2016)

Vessels of enjoyment
For the servants of my pain
Ghosts of rusted silhouettes
The system knows my name
Who lies behind the eyes that always follow?
Is there a heart inside or are you hollow?

Puppets pulled by strings
A cursed circus underground
Find escape in silence
Haunted echoes in the sound
If I'm the ending to this exhibition
Survival overcomes all superstition

Free I want to break free
From knowing you
Somewhere in the dark a voice is screaming
One of us is going to leave here bleeding
Breathe I'm trying to breathe
Inside of this
Trap you set to keep me from the daylight
Fighting for my life tonight, 'cause I'm still alive

Portraits of the monsters
Show the malice by design
Keeping onwards fearful that
I'm running out of time
The struggle to escape is growing harder
This victim of the night won't be a martyr

Free I want to break free
From knowing you
Somewhere in the dark a voice is screaming
One of us is going to leave here bleeding
Breathe I'm trying to breathe
Inside of this
Trap you set to keep me from the daylight
Fighting for my life tonight, 'cause I'm still alive
'Cause I'm still alive

I am staying alive
For even just one more moment
The chance won't pass me by
The passing of time
Ghosts in the shadows watch me
Tonight I can't seem to survive

Free I want to break free
From knowing you
Somewhere in the dark a voice is screaming
One of us is going to leave here bleeding
Breathe I'm trying to breathe
Inside of this
Trap you set to keep me from the daylight
Fighting for my life tonight, 'cause I'm still alive

'Cause I'm still alive
'Cause I'm still alive
'Cause I'm still alive
