Arrive Alive Songtext
von Before Braille

You tried to make this last
But your candles burned too fast
Divided before you were born
Were you divided from your former you?

You′ll never make it far
Well it's time
Let go of my arm
You′re dying north of 40
You were destined for its solitude

Just pull the cover over your eyes
Or do what just feels good
It's easy to be content about your life
Until it's over

Why does this feel so good?
Won′t somebody tell me while I′m alive
Why can't I withstand
My lust is so much stronger
Than my love for life
It′s just fate to play


Braden
The competition is Hans
(Arrive Alive)
And Braden
The competition is Hans
(Arrive Alive)
And Braden
The competition is Hans!

So you'll take over
While I′m bleeding?
Watch me squeeze out
Every pint I've got!
Well, it′s over
And I can feel it
Well-rehearsed the accidents prepare to stop

I am trying
Know what you want before you start

Gotta tell you
I read your diary to get to know you
I skipped right to the end (I don't feel guilty)
Empty pages of untold stories
For days you didn't want to live (Oh well)
You′re giving up


Too late (Is this what you want Dave?)
To decide my fate (Is this what you want Dave?)
Or re-write autobiographies (Is this what you want Dave?)
And though I just woke up (Is this how you wanted it?)
I feel that I′m washed up (Is this how you wanted it?)

You're always fake (You fear the worst)
You′ve been betrayed (So well rehearsed)
It's your fault I can believe handshakes (Wouldn′t be the first)
I've gone far enough (Is this how you wanted it?)
That′s why I'm washed up (Is this how you wanted it?)

It's over
I mean it
It′s over
I believe it now

So I′m washed up
Well I'm washed up
Yeah I′m washed up
