"Alive" lyrics

"Alive"

So here we are
All excuses
Holding on to cold hands and promises
That we made to each other and ourselves years ago
But I would stay
Here in this dark room
Every day with you if you loved me too
But I know that you'll never listen to your heart

I've been at the bottom
Set my sights to the top
To burn and to blossom
Don't tell me to stop
I wanna get free
My dreams set in stone
This is my legacy
This world is my home
I just wanna feel
I just wanna fucking feel something
I'd rather be down six feet
Than live my life in the back seat
I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel something

Let it just burn burn burn
A million holes in the sky
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Let it just burn burn burn
So beautiful and bright
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Baby don't you to want feel alive?
Baby don't you to want feel alive?
Again

I watched my family waste away
Settle in for the day-to-day
I refuse to be stuck in place
Defining despair
We're losing the arms race
Don't be like the rest of them
All of our idols we condemn
Cut off your nose
To spite your face
Rip out your tongue
To save us some grace

Settle
Settle in
Don't be like the rest of them
Settle in
Settle
Settle in
Just don't be like them

So won't you let it just burn burn burn
A million holes in the sky
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Let it just burn burn burn
So beautiful and bright
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Baby don't you want to feel alive?
Again
