What It Means To Say, "Alive"

What it means to say, “Alive”

The adrenaline…
The adrenaline’s gone to my head
Fallin down a spiral
A crash and then I’m dead

It’s dark where I am now…
The lights are fading grey
Then suddenly I realize
I’ve awoken to the day

I’m flying ever faster
On this path I take
And sometimes I wonder
Where this path will end

But now’s not the time for standing still
It’s time to move again
Two steps backwards
And one step ahead
It’s like a dance
Inside my head

Falling faster, once again
From where I thought was safe to stand
Just take my hand, my dear friend
If we’re gonna die
We might as well make one last stand

I can hear the crowds
They’re drowning out all other sound
It’s calling for a homicide
For the bloody mess they call a masterpiece
And we’re center stage of this masquerade

I’m flying ever faster
On this path I take
Sometimes I just wonder
Where this path will end

But now’s not the time for standing still
It’s time to move again
Two steps backwards
And one step ahead
It’s like a dance
Inside my head

Now that we’re at the edge
Close your eyes and take a pledge
Recite it a thousand times in your head
Then take your place at the ledge

Two steps backwards
And one step ahead
It’s time they listen to what we said
Now’s not the time for standing still
It’s time to move again

I don’t know where this path will lead
But it’s too late to turn back now
Looking into the gaze of death
It’s what it means
To say, “Alive”
