Alive Lyrics

Is living in a shell

Really living at all?

I think we're going down

And we don't mind the fall

Degradation

Betray ourselves

Losing freedoms to the sound of applause

Politicizing thoughts

Which side are you on?

Now it seems

That there's nothing left that we can do

Living faster

Looming disaster

We're all complacent

Are we alive?

Gods of our lives we idolize

Feeding us lies and keeping us blind

And I ask you

Are you with me?

Are we alive?

And I ask you

Are you okay?

Is there nothing left that we can do but

Sell our lives away?

Sell your life away

Sell it

Sell your life for a suit and tie

It benefits you

Is there an alternative lie

We believe true?

Let them castrate your nature

It's all we know

Be more than human livestock

We'll reap what we sow

We deserve this

Weak and worthless

Now it seems

That there's nothing left that we can do

Living faster

Looming disaster

We're all complacent

Are we alive?

Gods of our lives we idolize

Feeding us lies and keeping us blind

And I ask you

Are you with me?

Are we alive?

Are we alive?

Are we alive?

Are we alive?

It could just be our nature

But I'll wager

That there's more than we realize

We've been replaced

By a fantasy

First they tear us apart

Then they replace our art

You've been fucked

And you thank them for it

So I ask you now

Are we alive?

Intrepid souls avow

Do you live a lie?

Is there hope?

Our is it a performative façade to cope?

Cope

I'll live on wondering

If this really is the way things should be

How presumptuous to believe

That there is only

One way to live

There is no one truth

That is all-encompassing
