I'm Alive Songtext
von Story of the Year

In the night I sit alone, lifeless to the world I know
Faith loss long ago in this graveyard
I′m calling home, carved into the stone
A diary of broken bones and Words I should've known

But this grave′s too deep to ever make it up
I'd do anything, anything just to feel like I could reach the ground
I'd do anything, anything now to spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud but they never make a sound

I′m alive but I′m barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground, lay me down

I'm alive but I′m barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground, lay me down


In the night I sit alone, the stars rain on the world below, beg me to explode
'Cause these dreams I keep are nowhere to be found
I′d do anything, anything just to stop this way from pressing down
I'd do anything anything now to spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud but they never make a sound

I′m alive, but I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground, lay me down

I'm alive but I′m barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground, lay me down
Deep enough so that I′ll never feel again
From beneath and in chance in breaking scale, I'm giving in
All the promise of smiles and happiness that′s a dream I'm not willing to admit
I′m not ready yet to face regret
No I'm not ready yet, I′m not ready yet
No, no, no...

I'd do anything now, so spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud but they never make a sound

I'm alive but I′m barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground, lay me down

I′m alive but I'm barely breathing now
Tread my lungs into the ground, lay me down
