Alpha (Live) Lyrics by Sevendust

Retrospective, Vol. 2

2007

[Intro: Lajon Witherspoon]
We're gonna do a song called, "Alpha!"
In the back, come on!

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
Just move!
You never were there (when I needed you!)
Where were you when I needed you?
(So long!)
Look me in the eye when I'm talking to ya!
You see the whites, now (turn around!)

[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(You can't help me) not if you wanted to!
(Soon, I'll show you) what I mean, 'cause
(I) don't need for you to rescue me
(From what)
You believe is tearin' me apart!
You'll never (know) how it feels to be like me!
(Fuck you!)
I remind you of the duty that you gave (to yourself!)

[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
(Face down) hey! Come on, you all!
In your own shit, you look up at me!
In your eyes, there's something like pity for me!
(Reach) up from the bottom, lend a helpless hand
(You volunteer to be) my true savior

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(You can't help me) not if you wanted to!
(I would show you) what I need, 'cause
(I) don't need for you to rescue me
(From what)
You believe is tearin' me apart!
You'll never (Know) how it feels to be like me!
(Fuck you!)
I remind you of the duties that you (to yourself!)
Hey!

[Refrain 1: Lajon Witherspoon & John Connolly]
Face down!
Come on! Go!

[Guitar Solo: John Connolly]

[Bridge: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
Just move!
You never were there when I needed you!
Face down! (hey!)
In your own shit, you look up at me!
(You can't help me!)

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(I) don't need for you to rescue me
(From what)
You believe is tearin' me apart!
You'll never (know) how it feels to be like me!
(Fuck you!)
I remind you of the duties that you did (to yourself!)

[Outro: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
Yeah, yeah!
Now go fuck yourself! (Come on!)
