We're Alive

I used to think that people had a lot to offer But now it seems like there's no use in believing There was a time when you could feel the warmth of others But times have changed and nearly everyone is freezing I've had a lot of time to think about how things are And I don't really see this ending very pleasantly This time my eyes are pointed at the lit stars Whatever happens, I can't ever let it get to me My bed just isn't what it used to be Once a safe haven, not just a place I choose to dream This blanket can't hide me from my problems The answer's right outside but it still remains so new to me I try to help this by expressing myself musically The more I write the more I lose sight of the muse I keep I could try out different styles of creating But every single one just brings me right back into losing sleep I understand that my life won't play out beautifully I need a hand but my pride won't let me through to reach The little moments adding up to such an end That I never truly noticed that these phases change so fluently It's getting harder to impress this changing music scene So many artists cannot ever reach congruency I'll keep creating like it's all that I have left And in the end I think that's really all that I can do for me I used to think that people had a lot to offer But now it seems like there is so much more to take I never thought this life could still be such a bother But there is love out there that's mixed in with the hate These are lessons that I've learned from growing older Nothing ceases in this endless flow of time We'll meet again when the weather gets colder Truly yours, eyenine This is it, this is now, this is why We're a hit, we're a joke, we're alive We can cry, we can run, we can hide We can go on with our lives or we can wait around to die This is it, this is now, this is clear How we run, how we fight, how we fear All the troubles we've avoiding getting near We can put an end to all right here Connections, nothing matters in the face of this Statement of complacence that we take for granted with a kiss If we manage the damage that happens in our heart, then Maybe we could change the reason that we grew so far apart Days turn to the months, turn to years, turn to never I've been with fed up with this ever incarcerating endeavor It's hard to take in forever when your life is not indefinite The message that we send to our descendants is irrelevant Picture perfect, it's worth it to spend a little time Thinking why we even try to head across the finish line I'll second guess the lesson forever if it can make a change Death can only save us the effort to never stay the same Lights left on, nobody's home A life left early, lost love left alone Time heals all so I'm over it now With these drowned out sounds, I'm alone in a crowd
