Alive and Dying Lyrics

Walk with me down to the lake

The water I was born in I

Came alive and from that

First breath I began drowning I

Crawled out to become

The one who stands before you I

I'm not done yet, not done

Got to keep on moving

I can't see all I may become, but I

can't complain, it's alright, I'll find my way

Walk with me, through the woods

The darkness I grew strong in I

Spoke with devils and angels

Met the highest one

Yet I left those woods behind

To search the world for my place

And at times I've wondered

If the effort was a waste

But where do we go

When the whole damn city's on fire?

Run back home from where we came

After all, we're all alive and dying

I want to break the sky

Kill death and tell the truth with a lie

I want to fish for stars

Destroy every piece of impressionist art

So where do we go

When the whole damn city's ablaze?

Run back to the home we left

After all, we're just alive and dying

(There never lived an innocent one

The gun always kills for the silent tongue)

Walk with me, through the streets

Of the city I called home once

Decadence and immorality

Were always tempting me

Through will I fought my way

To the top of the highest building

And there I saw the sky

Open wide, wide open

So where do we go

When the whole damn city's ablaze?

Run back to the home we left

After all, we're just alive and dying
