Lonely voice
Better alone
Over-exposed
Can I explain
(Can I explain, what it is to feel alive)
What it is to feel alive
Can I explain
What it is to be alive
Didn't you
Pull out of
What it was you'd
Said you'd do so long ago
No one even ever knows
Postmarked, here I
Faithfully arrive
(We lie)
In a shipment of an ultimately
Fatal disguise
(All the time)
Strip down the sheets
We'd wrung out to dry
Caught up in sorcery
The magic you'll find
When you let
Let me go
Can I explain
What it is
To be alive
Tie me up
Wish I had a reason
Depressive manic season
Heart attack, pull me back
Scattered threads of twine with tact
(We lie)
Disregard, the final act
Fault lines, incredulous
(All the time)
I'm alive, it's in your eyes
Reassure me every time
18 lies on paper mines
No words to burst in black and white
No words to say, no way to place the blame
Lonely voice
Better alone
Over-exposed
Can I explain
What it is to feel alive
Don't be cynical
Full of miracles
Now I'm so cynical
So believable
How predictable
Full of miracles
You'll only get older it seems
I keep living like we're eighteen
You'll only get older it seems
Sad to see you starved for dreams
But it's thanks to you, I'm able to see
Clearly where it is I need to be
Lonely voice
Better alone
Over-exposed
Can I explain
What it is to feel alive
Lonely voice
Better alone
Over-exposed
(Alive)
Can I explain
Can I explain
Can I explain
