I Was Alive

I remember how it used to feel
All the anxiety and fear
Running from stores when I would steal
Blood pumping beats into my ear
Driving me on
Into the next catastrophe
Don't hold back
Assault, breaking and entering

Can't stop, now I've tried
Nothing else seems worth while
Now those same things
Won't bring the fire
That's what made me feel I was alive

Living dead out of energy
Excitement slowly leaving me
In desperate need of a remedy
To bring love back and set me free
Danger awaits
Time to engage in villainy
Hold on tight
Paint the town red until it bleeds

Can't stop, now I've tried
Nothing else seems worth while
Now those same things
Won't bring the fire
That's what made me feel I was alive

Chasing the rush will not
Bring back the fireworks

Can't stop, now I've tried
Nothing else seems worth while
Now those same things
Won't bring the fire

(Slowly I begin to surface)
That's what made me feel I was alive
(Finding out that love's imperfect)
(Slowly I begin to surface)
That's what made me reach out for your hand tonight
(Finding out that love's imperfect)
That's what makes me feel like I'm alive
