Alive

When hands like houses burn It takes away the light With haunting lessons learnt I slowly realize And I forget what's worth I never compromise With all the pages burned You are the reason I try 'Cause I don't wanna pull me under To save a lie And I don't wanna pull you closer I am haunted by the vacant mind I seek tonight To finally pull me under I've said all my goodbyes While the world sleeps And I slowly suffer Surround me As the weight of the world keeps falling Surround me As the light at the dawn gets darker And I will not cry to my own sorrow With all the pages burned You are the reason I try 'Cause I don't wanna pull me under To save a lie And I don't wanna pull you closer I am haunted by the vacant mind I seek tonight To finally pull me under I've said all my goodbyes While the world sleeps And I slowly suffer Rise above the ashes Now I won't hold back Fly high, I won't wander How can I see When the days are so dark Waking day Struggling to feel alive Inside this hell I know I am stuck inside my head
