I'm Alive

I'm Alive - Story Of The Year

In the night I sit alone

Lifeless to the world I know

Faith loss long ago

In this graveyard I'm calling home

Carved into the stone

A diary of broken bones and

Words I should've known

But this grave's too deep to ever make it up

I'd do anything anything

Just to feel like I could reach the ground

I'd do anything anything now

To spread these wings somehow

I scream these words so loud

But they never make a sound

I'm alive

But I'm barely breathing now

So place my heart under the ground

Lay me down

I'm alive

But I'm barely breathing now

So drag my lungs into the ground

Lay me down

In the night I sit alone

The stars rain on the world below

Beg me to explode

But these dreams

I keep are nowhere to be found

I'd do anything anything just to stop

This weight from pressing down

I'd do anything anything now

To spread these wings somehow

I scream these words so loud

But they never make a sound

I'm alive

But I'm barely breathing now

So place my heart under the ground

Lay me down

I'm alive

But I'm barely breathing now

So drag my lungs into the ground

Lay me down

Deep enough so that I'll never feel again

Far beneath any chance at breaking skin

I'm giving in

All the promise of smiles and happiness

That's a dream I'm not willing to admit

I'm not ready yet

To face regret

No I'm not ready yet

I'm not ready yet

No

No

No

I'd do anything now

So spread these wings somehow

I scream these words so loud

But they never make a sound

I'm alive

But I'm barely breathing now

So place my heart under the ground

Lay me down

I'm alive

But I'm barely breathing now

Tread my lungs into the ground

Lay me down
