​dead alive Lyrics by Jzzy

2023

[Verse 1]
Put me in dirt I'm sick can't breath
Why do they expect the world of me
I try to find balance and I try to find peace
But I end up giving in
Sacrifice my needs
I'm back to circling the drain
My heart's beating out of pace
Now I think I've fried my brain
But the show must go on they hit play

[Pre-Chorus]
Barely have any real friends
I can count them on my fingers (One, Two)
Though when I pull them down
It's the middle one pointed right back at the mirror
Now I'm stuck in my daydreams
And I know I'm gonna get hurt
'Cause the pressure's getting heavy
Walls are closing in around me (Cough, Cough)
Gotta fever

[Chorus]
Wish I could escape my thoughts
But I can't find the exit door
Lost the key inside my mind
The re-runs are my horror show
'Cause ah, ah, ah, I'm dead alive
Like I'm another prototype
I smile 'cause that's just what they like
Ah, ah, ah, I'm dead alive

[Verse 2]
(Cough, cough)
Staring at the ceiling
And it's staring right back, yah
Me, I can't count sheep
'Cause I'm an insomniac
And the window to my soul
Has an itty bitty crack
When I let the light in
It all fades to black
Try to cut the puppet strings
But I'm tangled in the slack
Wish that I could break free
But this is all I have

[Pre-Chorus]
Barely have any real friends
I can count them on my fingers (One, Two)
But when I pull them down
It's the middle one pointed right back at the mirror
Now I'm stuck in my daydreams
And I know I'm gonna get hurt
'Cause the pressures getting heavy
Walls are closing in around me (Cough, Cough)
Gotta fever

[Chorus]
Wish I could escape my thoughts
But I can't find the exit door
Lost the key inside my mind
The re-runs of my horror show
'Cause ah, ah, ah, I'm dead alive
Like I'm another prototype
I smile 'cause that's just what they like
But ah, ah, ah, I'm dead alive

[Outro]
(My dreams don't let me sleep at night)
(Ah, ah, ah, I'm dead alive)
(They just won't let me sleep at night)
('Cause ah, ah, ah, I'm dead alive)
