The Ghost Inside - Still Alive Lyrics

The Ghost Inside Lyrics

"Still Alive"

Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I'm right where I need to be

Against all odds
I won't be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Still alive - Still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive - Still alive
I said it before "Only the strong survive"
You fall, you get up. You never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn't give up - it's time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind - Still alive

My hands were at my side and despite what you think
Not giving up the fight - a second chance at life
Look in my eyes and you will find
I'm twice the man I've left behind

I spoke to death and said we'd meet again
It's not my time - it's not the end
All the doubts just in my head
So let's go! Full speed ahead

Against all odds
I won't be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Still alive - Still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive - Still alive
I said it before "Only the strong survive"
You fall, you get up. You never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn't give up - it's time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind

From the ashes brought back to life
This is the new sound of sacrifice
This is the new sound of sacrifice

Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I'm right where I'm meant to be

While speaking with Chorus.fm, Andrew Tkaczyk told about "Still Alive", "I want to say that was the very last track we wrote for the record and we wanted it to be… We knew we needed a big opening track, like first that intro, but then 'Still Alive' is kind of like the first full song, you know what I mean? So we approached it like we wanted to go back to the roots and have sort of a 'Returners' vibe to it […] And then yeah, the lyrics and it's called 'Still Alive'. […] It was either Vigil or Jim I think had this idea to just get everyone, all 10 of us band and crew that were in the accident and just sort of yell that part into their phones. And Will was able to take just the iPhone voice memos and make them sound like it's a thousand people."
