Dead Or Alive

(album: Eternal - 2020)

[Atlus:]
They want me dead
It's all the same
Don't care where I'm at mentally
I'm only here to entertain
They want me alive
Only if I
Stay the person that I was before the climb
Dead or alive

[GAWNE:]
There were days when it rained, every night was so dark
All I know is the pain, got no love in my heart
Only ice in my veins, though you made me this way
Now they want me to change but it's too late to restart
Already dug my own grave, there were lines that were crossed
Yeah I made some mistake in all the battles I fought
I have a debt to be paid cause everything has a cost
So when I'm burning in flames will they remember my name?
Uh, blood in my eye, look to the sky
The devil speaks through my jealousy, telling me what I am not
Never been no good at a goodbye
But farewell, church bells ring as I walk on by
How many years he lived a false life
False prophets appear when you're up all night
Dead inside, though still alive
Enough to tell you I'm alright
As I fall through the ice, I'm sorry
I must go now, I must not slow, because I
Can hear them call from down below, so if you
Say my name just say it slow, and they'll
Remember me when my coffin closes
It's the end of the rope, the cord's been cut
I was counting my last four bucks, couldn't afford to give more fucks
Down on my luck as every door shut
I give up, they won't love me till the coroner comes

[Atlus:]
They want me dead
It's all the same
Don't care where I'm at mentally
I'm only here to entertain
They want me alive
Only if I
Stay the person that I was before the climb
Dead or alive

[GAWNE:]
I got some shit on my mind, I'm an emotional guy (uh)
They hate me for the way I speak when I rhyme
I bet you bent out of shape because I've been on my grind
Just know that when you see me you better leave me dead, not alive
Otherwise, to the top I'ma climb
Negative side transform into a positive I guess that I'm and optimist prime without a box to ship
Speak of the Amazon
To this game I'm bringing oxygen to stop it from dying
I fear no man, bow to no king
There are thousands of people wishing many bad things
They applaud my pitfalls, but scoff at the wins
Everything has a cost, I'ma pay for my sins
But so are you
If dead or alive, then so are you
You choose telling me to go to hell, well then you can come too
Go ahead, get revenge, kill me with your rage
Dig a grave, but don't forget to dig two
