Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm alive
Alive
[Verse 2]
So you were six feet underneath me
I felt a pulse, I swear you moved
And diggin' deep, deep down I recognized
How much you had to lose
And if you wanna get out of here
Wanna get out of here, save yourself
But you'll never get anywhere, never get anywhere
Not without my help
[Verse 3]
Say it with me
[Verse 4]
I'm alive, I'm alive, when you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face to your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied 'cause you're livin' a lie, my friend
Say it with me
[Verse 5]
I'm alive, I'm alive, when you're dead inside
I'm your wake up call and you know I'm right
So make a move, let it bleed, tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna
[Verse 6]
So, how far did you go shelter?
How long did it take you to find
A place to sell your providence
And harm your peace of mind?
And if you wanna get out of here
Wanna get out of here, save yourself
But you'll never get anywhere, never get anywhere
Not without my help
[Verse 7]
Say it with me
[Verse 8]
I'm alive, I'm alive, when you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face to your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied 'cause you're livin' a lie, my friend
Say it with me
[Verse 9]
I'm alive, I'm alive, when you're dead inside
I'm your wake up call and you know I'm right
So make a move, let it bleed, tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
I'm the one who's gonna
[Verse 10]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 11]
I'm alive, I'm alive, when you're dead inside
I'm a slap in the face to your lullaby
Got you all tongue tied 'cause you're livin' a lie, my friend
Say it with me
[Verse 12]
I'm alive, I'm alive, when you're dead inside
I'm your wake up call and you know I'm right
So make a move, let it bleed, tear your heart off your sleeve
But I'm the only one who's gonna save your life (I'm alive, I'm alive)
I'm the one who's gonna save your life (I'm alive, I'm alive)
I'm the one who's gonna save your life (I'm alive, I'm alive)
I'm the one who's gonna save your life (I'm alive, I'm alive)
I'm the one who's gonna save your life
