Almost Alive

In the dark part of my mind
There's no reset and no rewind
Left for dead, see how I rose
I know what it's like to decompose
But in the age of rage and sin
Somehow your fought your way right in
Ignored the hoard and faced the change
It turned you into something strange

A touch of rigor mortis
You'll ask yourself how short is
This life. It bites. That's right. Don't fight
Let's have your friends for dinner tonight

You always hurt the ones you love
It was below, it's now above
Left for dead I've been entombed
I know what it's like to be consumed
But in this place of waste and death
You helped me draw another breath
Although I swore I'd never change
You turned me into something strange

A touch of rigor mortis
You'll ask yourself how short is
This life. It bites. That's right. Don't fight
Let's have your friends for dinner tonight
There's nothing left here for us
So help me sing this chorus
We drive, and we strive, survive, revive
You're the part of me that's Almost Alive

I could ask forgiveness, but I'm faking
If you think we'll live through this you're mistaken
You've not departed, what we had is not all dead
When this first started
I thought we'd be six feet underground instead

A touch of rigor mortis
You'll ask yourself how short is
This life. It bites. That's right. Don't fight
Let's have your friends for dinner tonight
There's nothing left here for us
So help me sing this chorus
We drive, and we strive, survive, revive
You're the part of me that's Almost Alive

Almost Alive (Almost Alive)
Almost Alive (all-mo-ost a-live)

A touch of rigor mortis
You'll ask yourself how short is
This life. It bites. That's right. Don't fight
Let's have your friends for dinner tonight
There's nothing left here for us
So help me sing this chorus
We drive, we strive, survive, revive
You're the part of me that's Almost Alive
