The Reaper ft. The Classic Crime Lyrics

Far from the hands of The Reaper 

Here with my oxygen starved brain 

There's nothing left to hold my breath over 

But moving on just don't feel sane

It seems like catastrophe

To lift my head, and feel the weight

Of every open door in front of me

But moving on just don't feel sane

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

And this chemical imbalance

A state of mind that I create

To outsource the pain of consciousness

When the choice alone is mine to make

And I feel it drawing nearer

An awakening of thought

It'll shake me by the shoulders

Till my weary head rolls off


You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

And this thought I'll find an answer

Has got the tightest grip on me

And while it brings a little comfort

Even this I cannot keep

And with my eyes finally open

I see the truth I've always known

That all this light on the horizon

Will burn the flesh right off my bones

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go



All this change

The inevitable toll life takes

To know this heart is beating and awake

You're not alive till you let go

Not alive till you let go

All this change

The inevitable toll life takes

To know this heart is beating and awake

You're not alive till you let go

Not alive till you let go

All this change

The inevitable toll life takes

To know this heart is beating and awake

You're not alive till you let go

Not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go

You're not alive till you let go



Far from the hands of The Reaper 

Here with my oxygen starved brain 

There's nothing left to hold my breath over 

But standing here just don't feel sane 



And with my eyes finally open

I see the truth I've always known

That all this light on the horizon

Will transform my flesh and bones
