lyrics

LIVING NOT ALIVE
No need to apologize for letting down the crowd,
Say you changed your mind to a private suicide;
Don’t think we deserve to die, it happens all the time,
The dead rule and feed on the living!
I know you know I’ve been there,
Most embarrassing of all,
How so full of it I was, In the eyes of the one who knows;
Who knows we’re living, not alive,
Shadows in a cave with our backs to the light;
And lives to see a new born rise,
Sky after sky, night after night!
I don’t apologize for being so alive,
Don’t need your TV eyes to suck
my mind; We got our dream machine, heaven is the limit-less,
In a mental prison we fear, some freedom may hurt us!
Some will take all your shit And give the gift of life,
Others will suck all the light
And leave shit behind;
As though they’re living, not alive,
On a sight seeing tour for the blind;
Yet even Satan ought to get to heaven someday,
Some bright new day following a season in hell,
With no enemy left to love but oneself!
