1.Alive

Who woulda thought I woulda made it this far
I coulda swore I was hated by God
And satan tried hard just to keep me from the Truth
Yes I was smokin stardust (sleeping on the moon)
Hanging out with martians (better known as goons)
Females that is gorgeous (let us get a room)
And eat my every word like I put lettuce on a spoon
If life a suite I gotta Presidential view
But yet there's still somethin tellin me to leap off it
Life is a dream and I sleep often
No life is a beach and I see dolphins jumpin over rainbows
paramedics yellin 'we lost him'
Preacher man tell me do you reach corpses?
I see the flowers in your yard (sweet orchids)
But on the other side of your fence they beat poor kids
Til they get the mark of the beast on their foreheads
And then they clean it up with bleach when the floor's red
How you supposed to live a dream when you're born dead?
I just heard a girl scream with a torn dress
There's got to be more to life than this right? More or less?

I'm alive
Even if the world is against me
I'm alive
Hey I can feel it inside
I'm alive
I've lost all control
You can take my life but can't take my soul

Here is to the abused and molested
Kicked outta schools, handcuffed and arrested
Our hearts are cold as ice with holes the size of Texas
Like tomorrow I'mma kill you but today I buy you breakfast
And who I'm havin sex with? It's none of your concern
Set the President's on fire
Means money just to burn
They said to hurry up just so I could wait my turn
But you can't take my life not if I can take it first
Put a razor to my wrist, one slice at a time
Seek and you will find I'm just preachin to the choir
Daddy was a preacher but he beat you with an iron
Treat you like a piece of meat!
And just feed you to the lions!
The cathedral is on fire and they try to save the building
But what about the people that's inside it?
Get me off this plane!
I'm reachin for the pilot!
Heaven can you hear me? I need you! Cause I'm dyin!

It's like I'm sittin here starin at a closed front door
Thinking on the other side I know there's so much more
That's when I start to feel alive and I don't know what for
Like there's a lion inside of me just shows up ROAR
Took me a minute but I believe
I was locked in a prison but now I'm free
I was lost with no vision but now I see
Now this Life is takin over my body and I can breathe
