"Alive & Well" lyrics

You were cutting it close. Hope you're glad that you made it
You were checking the pulse to find that it was still beating
Then you cave, baring all of your heart, it's inflated
Just so you know, so it's understood, this means nothing to me
Why celebrate? I want to die and I really mean it
I want to kill the conversation. You want to keep it alive and well
I want to kill the conversation. You want to keep it alive and well

Look at yourself coming for blood
Calling my name, drag it through mud
Playing the game thinking you won
I got my life back

You're talking it over, although we know it's much too late
Last minute surrender, waving the whitest flag they make
You misread the chip on my shoulder
You're pulling me closer but what if I fight back?

You've been chasing a ghost, taking swings for the fences
It's a little morose, when you know I'm defenseless
What can I say? I had my pride but it's now defeated
I want to kill the conversation. You want to keep it alive and well
I want to kill the conversation. You want to keep it alive and well

Look at yourself coming for blood
Calling my name, drag it through mud
Playing the game thinking you won
I got my life back

You're talking it over, although we know it's much too late
Last minute surrender, waving the whitest flag they make
You misread the chip on my shoulder
You're pulling me closer but what if I fight back?
