You're Alive
Its early, sun is rising, and I'm lying on my side
Gazing off, for what I swear, feels like hours at a time
And I'm alive. But I'm not living
Enough of all this jealous envy, it only makes us blind
I see it all the time, rooms full of empty eyes
And I swear. I swear we're better than
Gossip driven junkies, boasting narcissistic ties
The center of attention, can't find no compromise
Does it make you happy?
Or does it just keep you
Distracted by these selfish dreams of having way too much
As soon as it gets full you've got to buy a bigger cup
And is it ever? Will it ever be
Enough of all these pessimistic thoughts stringing along
If you're leading by example well you're doing it all wrong
And its a black hole, That'll keep our souls from
Finding their true place, To shine off into space
Showering the darkness, leaving color in its place
And you're alive. But are you living enough?
Gazing off, for what I swear, feels like hours at a time
And I'm alive. But I'm not living
Enough of all this jealous envy, it only makes us blind
I see it all the time, rooms full of empty eyes
And I swear. I swear we're better than
Gossip driven junkies, boasting narcissistic ties
The center of attention, can't find no compromise
Does it make you happy?
Or does it just keep you
Distracted by these selfish dreams of having way too much
As soon as it gets full you've got to buy a bigger cup
And is it ever? Will it ever be
Enough of all these pessimistic thoughts stringing along
If you're leading by example well you're doing it all wrong
And its a black hole, That'll keep our souls from
Finding their true place, To shine off into space
Showering the darkness, leaving color in its place
And you're alive. But are you living enough?
