The Word Alive
Album • 2018
The drive to be someone you're not (Be someone you're not, be someone you're not) Chased desert dreams in hopes I'm not forgotten (I'm not forgotten) I told myself that I was doing the right thing Faked everything, faked everything I'm not Red clouds come down Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?) Red clouds all around Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?) I remember how badly I wanted to be here Now I'm just scared Unveiled destiny Miles apart from me I told myself that I was doing the right thing Faked everything, faked everything I'm not Red clouds come down Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?) Red clouds all around Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?) 'Cause sometimes it takes a little bit of leaving to find, to find some meaning Red clouds come down Won't you take me away? Won't you take me away? My intention to be better than you thought I could be Ended up getting caught up in the life I never thought I ever would be They say they "told me so" But how could I have ever known? Well now I know better (Know better) I'll never be your prisoner (Prisoner) I hoped you knew me better (Knew me better) I am my own prisoner Red clouds come down Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?) Red clouds all around Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?) 'Cause sometimes it takes a little bit of leaving to find, to find some meaning Red clouds come down Won't you take me away? Won't you take me away?

Honestly I’m waiting for you to say you’re ready If this is happening, just tell me No hesitation, no stopping It just feels right But why am I like this? Take your time, wrong or right I just wanna feel alive tonight Yes or no? Don’t go slow I just wanna feel alive tonight Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday So irrational this feeling Getting physical, I’m ready Seducing me with temptation Feeling free, your motivation It just feels right (If this is happening, just tell me) But why am I like this? Take your time, wrong or right I just wanna feel alive tonight Yes or no? Don’t go slow I just wanna feel alive tonight Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday They say we’re out of control They say they that we just don’t know And maybe we’ll prove them right But not tonight Take your time, wrong or right I just wanna feel alive tonight Yes or no? Don’t go slow I just wanna feel alive tonight Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday Take your time, wrong or right I just wanna feel alive tonight Yes or no? Don’t go slow I just wanna feel alive tonight Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday Our own bloody Sunday

Oh how I've missed this, I've been left out And now I'm sentenced, sent to live without And I always thought that I knew best, only time will tell Can you spot the difference because I'm living in hell Time's my mistress, my star-crossed lover Tell me right now, "get my shit together" Maybe I'm naive, a little undone But I'll just laugh as I stare at the sun (Stare at the sun) Back and forth in my mind Witnessing a great divide In and out, always doubt I'll find you Time's my mistress, my star-crossed lover Tell me right now, "get my shit together" Maybe I'm naive, a little undone But I'll just laugh as I stare at the sun (Stare at the sun) Wait a minute, if I’m so far gone What makes you think that I'm Capable of change, capable of being Anything than what I am Maybe I'm a fuck up, maybe I'm the one That breaks the mold, maybe I'm a Genius, or a higher being, bringing the world to it's knees I guess we'll never know Never know Time's my mistress, my star-crossed lover Tell me right now, "get my shit together" Maybe I'm naive, a little undone But I'll just laugh as I stare at the sun (Stare at the sun)

Every time I say I give up hope I sit and think about the songs you wrote And each day I realize It can get better over time But what about your darkest days? When it feels like the clouds won’t go away I’ve been there and I’ve seen it through I’ll be here when you need me to And this is our war, war I want you to know that I hear you War, war I want you to know that I feel you Evermore I want you to know that I’m like you Evermore I want you to know that I’m fighting too Some people say that it’s the cowards way They don’t know what it’s like to feel this pain Growing deeper like roots from a tree It soon becomes all encompassing But there’s a way to find an escape Without throwing your life away And this is our war, war I want you to know that I hear you War, war I want you to know that I feel you Evermore I want you to know that I’m like you Evermore I want you to know that I’m fighting too Sometimes the world feels like an empty place Sometimes it’s hard to face your demons day to day Staring face to face in a mirror of shame I know because we’re all the same And this is our war, war I want you to know that I hear you War, war I want you to know that I feel you Evermore I want you to know that I’m like you Evermore I want you to know that I’m fighting too

Let me tell you what makes me me Forgiving friends and family I know I don't deserve them But here I am Living a lie, I was out of reach Forgot the son you raised me to be I know I don't deserve you But here I am I'm blessed, I'm cursed Thoughts in my head making it worse I always make things worse I'm lost and found In the safety in all of my doubts I'm lost and found I'm human I know you think that you know me But I've only told you part of my story So here it goes I thought that I was invincible Caught up in the wrong crowd, a criminal But here I am I'm blessed, I'm cursed Thoughts in my head making it worse I always make things worse I'm lost and found In the safety in all of my doubts I'm lost and found I'm human At the end of the day I'm always gonna find a way No matter what people say I'm human I don't live with regrets even when I'm a mess I can never forget I'm human I epitomize what most people been disguising I was gone like starships that started my enterprises Wasn't nothing funny, I was bummy like the bunny But I energize it I was so indecisive, you can't describe it You couldn't get the drugs I'm on, oh no you can't prescribe it Found the Word Alive Matty plugged me they amplified it This is just my journey and my story I can't rewrite it The world been divided, I'm sent here to unify it This is true unbiased And my crew the highest Why you got your head low? You should keep it higher I am true unbiased And my crew the highest Why you got your head low? You should keep it higher I'm blessed, I'm cursed Thoughts in my head making it worse I always make things worse I'm lost and found In the safety in all of my doubts I'm lost and found I'm human At the end of the day I'm always gonna find a way No matter what people say I'm human I don't live with regrets even when I'm a mess I can never forget I'm human

I don't mind, I don't mind Wasting my time I don't mind Out of time, out of time Got left behind I thought I wouldn't mind It's simple to me, why can't you see I just wanna be free, be free It's easy to be ignorant blissfully We wanna be free, be free Am I crazy anticipating your lack of concern for my life? It’s like erasing my memories that were your design But does it make me right? I don't mind, I don't mind Wasting my time I don't mind Out of time, out of time Got left behind I thought I wouldn't mind There's nothing to do, I was blinded by you I just wanna be free, be free So here we are no thanks to me You can finally be free, be free Am I crazy anticipating your lack of concern for my life? It’s like erasing my memories that were your design But does it make me right? I don't mind, I don't mind Wasting my time I don't mind Out of time, out of time Got left behind I thought I wouldn't mind You know I don't mind You know I don't mind You know I don't mind You know I don't mind I don't mind, I don't mind Wasting my time I don't mind Out of time, out of time Got left behind I thought I wouldn't mind I don't mind, I don't mind

Identified that you were right Got caught up as life passed by Don’t know what I was running from Deep inside I know you’re right Took too long to realize But now I see that I’m Looking for that real life That real high Electrify me That real life Should be hard to find But that’s a lie, right? That real life I’ve searched and searched at times I thought I’d found the light But nothing ever changes I need to find a way Somethings don’t feel the same ‘cause I know that I’m Looking for that real life That real high Electrify me That real life Should be hard to find But that’s a lie, right? That real life It’s no secret I feel this way I wanna know a life that scares me Where no doesn’t get caught in the way There’s no such thing as an escape When you find yourself I wanna find myself I’ve searched and searched at times I thought I’d found the light But nothing ever changes Looking for that real life That real high Electrify me That real life Should be hard to find But that’s a lie, right? That real life

Can't believe that this is our reality How far we came, now hate is all we see Where do we go now? I thought that we were better than this Where do we go now? Why can't we be better than this? (We're better than this) We live in a world that longs for peace Desperate to set our passion free But we're falling apart, we're lost in the dark We're falling, we're falling apart lost in the dark I know you see that it's grown bigger than just you and me I thought that we were better than this Where do we go now? Why can't we be better than this? (Better than this) We live in a world that longs for peace Desperate to set our passion free But we're falling apart, we're lost in the dark We're falling, we're falling apart lost in the dark Where do we go now? When did we forget we're all the same? Where did we go wrong? I wish I knew better than to let this get the best of me I have to give what's left inside of me I wish I knew... We live in a world that longs for peace Desperate to set our passion free But we're falling apart, we're lost in the dark We're falling, we're falling apart lost in the dark

I wish I knew a better way to say All the things I’ve kept inside You’re running through my mind We’re running out of time I don’t want you to see the worst in me But the darkness always finds a way Don’t want you to see the worst in me It’s calling me, my enemy But it’s become all I’ll ever be It’s calling me, my enemy (My enemy) Fear is a ghost Just a voice you hear when light disappears Why, no one knows I’ve been there and I’ve faced my fears Fear is a ghost Why, no one knows I don’t want you to see the worst in me But the darkness always finds a way Don’t want you to see the worst in me It’s calling me, my enemy But it’s become all I’ll ever be It’s calling me, my enemy (My enemy) Forged in the fire I lit inside me Don’t want you to see the worst in me (It’s calling me, my enemy) But it’s become all I’ll ever be (It’s calling me, my enemy) Don’t want you to see the worst in me (It’s calling me, my enemy) But it’s become all I’ll ever be (It’s calling me, my enemy)

Your vision is blurred as you’re on the way out It’s hard to deny on the way down Can you hear my voice is it getting too loud? I don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I am now Run away, run away but don’t forget Stay the same, stay the same you’ll always regret All the possibilities and what they meant Run away run away and never come back Never come back Sometimes we forget to ignore the noise No one seems to notice how it feels, to be let down Run away, run away but don’t forget Stay the same, stay the same you’ll always regret All the possibilities and what they meant Run away run away and never come back Never come back We all fall apart It finds us the same, no matter who you are Run away, run away but don’t forget Stay the same, stay the same you’ll always regret All the possibilities and what they meant Run away run away and never come back Never come back

They say that time heals all wounds But not yours, not yours So you’re trapped in your mistakes And now you’re who you hate I know it feels like you’re sick of me Describe what it’s like now that you’re missing me Guilty apology, wasted sympathy (Float here, I see clear) Float away (Float here, I see clear) You’re always chasing the next best thing Float away It doesn’t feel real till you feel the sting Float away I know it feels like you’re sick of me Describe what it’s like now that you’re missing me Guilty apology, wasted sympathy You’ll never be whole, buried your soul You’ll never be whole, buried your soul You’ll never be whole, buried your soul Buried your soul, buried your soul I know it feels like you’re sick of me Describe what it’s like now that you’re missing me I know it feels like you’re sick of me Describe what it’s like now that you’re missing me Guilty apology, wasted sympathy
