Alive - Assemblage 23

Through the iridescent rain

In this heavy atmosphere

Nothing makes a sound

But the beating of my heart

Broken down and torn to shreds

On the verge of madness

Here comes that old familiar pain

Like a long lost friend’s return

I never felt so

I never felt so

Alive

Alive

Waves of doubt wash over me

A sighing ocean of black

Deep and steady, dark and wide

Underneath indifferent stars

I’ve been waiting for so long

For some kind of answer

But there’s just an empty, distant sound

Calling like a mother’s voice

I never felt so

I never felt so

Alive

Alive

Every moment is contained

An event within itself

A perfect little world

Hidden by a jealous sun

For an eternity or more

It was the hurt that brought me back

Like the glowing fires of home

Beckoning through winter air

I never felt so

I never felt so

Alive

Alive
