Lyrics by Sarah Nodarse

lyrics

Surrounded by pain and living to die
My heart won’t stop beating
I’m still alive
Stricken by fear and livid with rage
I keep breathing in a world that’s a stage
And I’m still alive

Pushing, running, never stopping
Holding, falling, rushing, dropping
Crying, trying, dying fears
Will I be alive when I’m done with these years
Alone in the world and it’s only I
Heart’s still beating and I wonder why
The clock’s still ticking around my time
Around my eyes

To be alive is to be unknown
To be alive is to know no home
To be alive is to truly grow
To be alive is to be unknown
To be alive is know no home
To be alive is to free your soul

And even when I seem to die
I’d rather live a thousand lives
Than see the world through clouded eyes
I see through every single lie
And I’m still alive

Free
I’m coming free
I’m coming alive
I’m breaking free
I’m living alive
I’m gonna try
I’m gonna die
I’m gonna run until I find
A way to learn to live to die awake
