My Heart, Alive?

Unearth my heart
You left it buried in the twilight
On the moors of Nevermore
In the glow of full moon so bright

Ensnare my heart
Cling me, bleeding, close to your chest
As my pulse slows to a stop
Help me find some solace and rest

My screams seem so surreal
This pain seems so unreal
On my knees, I’m forced to kneel

To my temptations, I must yield

The loneliness I feel inside
Ev’ryday, I want to die
Will I ever be all right?

What’s it like to be alive?

Untouched, my heart
By all love that’s nonexistent
So sad and hesitant
I admit, I am resistant

Besmirched, my heart
Discarded, careless, by the wayside
How will I start again?
Without a friend, I fend off suicide

My screams seem so surreal
This pain seems so unreal
On my knees, I’m forced to kneel

To my temptations, I must yield

The loneliness I feel inside
Ev’ryday, I want to die
Will I ever be all right?

What’s it like to be alive?

This madness drives me
This passion binds me
Tell me I’m dying
Tell me I’m alive…

This sadness drives me
This rashness blinds me
I know I’m dying…
But am I still alive?
Am I still alive?

My screams seem so surreal
This pain seems so unreal
On my knees, I’m forced to kneel

To my temptations, I must yield

The loneliness I feel inside
Ev’ryday, I want to die
Will I ever be all right?

What’s it like to be alive?
What’s it like…
What’s it like…
What’s it like
To be
Alive?
