Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Finding it hard to differentiate

Are my proclivities of society

Or innate

Well, the source is irrelevant

When it comes to truth

And the truth is I want the same thing that you do

Childlike curiosity about my fate

Is the only thing

That makes me stay

[Verse 2]

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

It keeps me breathin' right

[Verse 3]

And yet the holy grail beckons

"Hey, your chalice could still be filled some day by someone"

[Verse 4]

Childlike curiosity about my fate

Is the only thing that makes me stay

Though I've never been a sucker for co-dependency

I'm taken by the possibility

[Verse 5]

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

Oh, it keeps me breathin' right
