When I Feel Alive

What can I do
When there's no motivation
I'm blinded by
My perceived limitations
I need a new view
Out from this depression
Before I'm out of time
To make my good impression

I'm stirring and turning
Under all this pressure
My thoughts blurring and churning
I must try to be better
I can't make these mistakes
I've got to be so flawless
Or else I might completely miss my chance

When I feel alive
I've got this internal drive
It's like I've always gotta stay ahead
But when I feel sad
And everything is so bad
It's like I struggle just to get out of bed
But I get up anyway
And I move on with my day
And I keep running towards my goals instead

What can't I do
When I've got motivation
There's no stopping my
Imagination
And from this view
The fog is finally lifting
Now I see the way
As my perception's shifting

The fear is still here
But I will overcome it
And my tears disappear
Because I know I won't quit
I've survived now I'll thrive
And I'm still not done just yet
I won't miss my chance 'cause I'll be ready for it

When I feel alive
I've got this internal drive
It's like I've always gotta stay ahead
But when I feel sad
And everything is so bad
It's like I struggle just to get out of bed
But I get up anyway
And I move on with my day
And I keep running towards my goals instead

Sometimes I just can't take it
And I'm feeling like I might die (I might die)
But every time that I make it
I know that I'm really alive

When I feel alive
I've got this internal drive
It's like I've always gotta stay ahead
But when I feel sad
And everything is so bad
It's like I struggle just to get out of bed
But I get up anyway
And I move on with my day
And I keep running towards my goals instead

Instead
Instead
