Look Alive

[DanoftheThirdKind]

This is a song I'm writing for my band. I guess it's about relationships? That's a bad sign.

 

"Look Alive"

 

Stampede in a room 

Hand over hand when the oak was in bloom

Glass in my teeth that I can't speak through

The elephant's trunk is drawn like a bow

An arrow each for what we stole 

 

I look alive

I live a lie

I look alive

I live a lie

 

Waiting for the wind to fall

Scratch the itch until it's raw

God, if I could see you now

A thousand gallons I'd let you drown

 

Put him outside to bleed

String him up by his feet

By the end of tonight

We'll be agreed

The price of our envy

Made us obsolete

 

 

I look alive

I live a lie

I look alive

I live a lie

 

What we have in common is cause for alarm

We're the living expression of harm

The pill might be stuck in our throats

But the only thing worse than being nowhere

Is knowing there's nowhere to go
