I'm Alive

Engines rev and trumpets roar

I don't hear your voice no more

And living isn't worth the fear of dying

Wrapped up package, torn up clothes

Empty days and deep dark holes

The only thing that keeps a man from crying

Oh, if I don't get you back, I'll fall upon a railroad track

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones

Oh, if I don't get you back, I'll cover up my bloody tracks

With sorrow, hopes and hide my dying pride

Oh, 'cause I'm alive

Oh, whispers in a losers dream

Holding on to not a thing

'Cause these arms are now paralyzed without you to hold

Bold with crazy, have no fear

Children cry, and then I hear

The message my lies tell me in my dreams

Oh, if I don't get you back, I'll fall upon a railroad track

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones

Oh, if I don't get you back, I'll cover up my bloody tracks

With sorrow, hopes and hide my dying pride

Oh, 'cause I'm alive

Oh, maybe if I caught the rain

In pails that filter out the pain

I realized why you had to go

Days of lightning, show the way

And night time creeps and holds at bay

They're missing you, the mean, the cold, the ugly

Oh, if I don't get you back, I'll fall upon a railroad track

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones

Oh, if I don't get you back, I'll cover up my bloody tracks

With sorrow, hopes and hide my dying pride

Oh, 'cause I'm alive

'Cause I'm alive

'Cause I'm alive

'Cause I'm alive
