I'm Alive

Just sit and wait, don't move

Just hesitate

You can hope and pray

You can moan

Maybe things will change

You feel your soul

Get hollowed out

While the world implodes

You just live without

She walks, she runs

She fights

Almost as one, and finds her voice

She'll march

She has no choice

She's crushed by thoughts

At night

A man who want her rights

And usually win

But she's alive

Oh, she's alive

She's alive

Oh, she's alive

He screams, he shouts

The heads on the TV bow

They take the bait

They make running waves of hate

They break down walls

To free their sins

And then their hearts

Come caving in

Oh, and once, I think

I dance

And sometimes I drink

I sing my songs

I hope someone sings along

If I should break

My silent streak

Will knives come out

To cut my cheeks?

Oh, I'm alive

Yes, I'm alive

But I'm alive

Oh, I'm alive

I'm alive

Oh, I'm alive

Yes, I'm alive

Yes, I'm alive

I care, a lot

I know

The things I'm not

It's alright, it's okay

And it's not, maybe things will change
