Lyrics Alive - Richard Steighner

Winding me up in a ball of cortisol.
Tying me up in the strings of dopamine.
Cover my sins with a din of endorphins,
Impatient and waiting to fit in.
Oh, depression is hard to escape. Consistently,
Pulling me down just to take back my victories.
Drowning me out with the sounds of my enemies.
I let it get under my skin.
I wanna learn to love
And be loved
All over again,
All over again.
I wanna put down
This emotional gun
That I hold to my head,
'cuz I don't ever
Wanna give it up.
No, I'm not giving up.
Even if they've
Found my only hideaway,
I know that I can still survive.
Oh, take my hand we'll find a way
To make it out here alive.
I'm killing myself just to
Fight back the self-doubt.
Fighting a war that
I can't seem to live without.
I wasn't born just to
Light up and burn out;
The fire was started within.
I wanna learn to love
And be loved
All over again,
All over again.
I wanna put down
This emotional gun
That I hold to my head,
'cuz I don't ever
Wanna give it up.
No, I'm not giving up.
Even if they've
Found my only hideaway,
I know that I can still survive.
Oh, take my hand
We'll find a way
To make it out here alive.
Draw me with a can of paint:
A maladapted modern saint,
A mild made-up masculine.
A sober dose of halogen.
My drip, my whip, my clip is wrong
And copied from a cover song.
Caption this and move along.
In filtered-4k I belong.
Even if they've found my only hideaway,
I know that I can still survive.
Oh, take my hand
We'll find a way
To make it out here alive.
Even if they've found my only hideaway,
I know that I can still survive.
Oh, take my hand
We'll find a way
To make it out here alive.
Even if they've found my only hideaway,
I know that I can still survive.
Oh, take my hand
We'll find a way
To make it out here alive.
