We Are Alive
We believe if we were to confess what we believe
Everything we ever knew and loved... we would be free
Arm in arm, carefree as can be
Reminiscing about our life before and what we would do
Explanations being pushed aside to better hide
All the horrible things that brew in our lives now
Let me ask you how, exactly, pretending to be okay
Is actually okay?
Viewing others as barely human, not caring what we do or what we say
Everyone is in their own head... We need to stand together to truly be free
