Verse 1 Still air is around you As you stand on the line The silence resounding And you’re taking you’re time The grass looks so much greener On the other side But you’ve been there and you found That you think you need won’t make you feel alive Pre Chorus You’re just trying to live a life You’re just trying to breathe tonight Chorus So we build our houses board by board As we search the world something more Than just ourselves and the love the we need tonight As we try to find how to feel alive Verse 2 You’re climbing the ladder And your gaining in speed But you feel you’re successes And it’s not what you need Is there something missing when Your buried in your never ending goals Tell me why do you chase a high That won’t make it through the lows Pre Chorus You’re just trying to fight a fight You’re just trying to feel free tonight Bridge If we could see like the blind man Would it open up our eyes If we could hear like the deaf Would we still listen to the lies If we could sing with a mute tongue Until the day we die Maybe we'd find how to feel alive

How to Feel Alive
Verse 1 Still air is around you As you stand on the line The silence resounding And you’re taking you’re time The grass looks so much greener On the other side But you’ve been there and you found That you think you need won’t make you feel alive Pre Chorus You’re just trying to live a life You’re just trying to breathe tonight Chorus So we build our houses board by board As we search the world something more Than just ourselves and the love the we need tonight As we try to find how to feel alive Verse 2 You’re climbing the ladder And your gaining in speed But you feel you’re successes And it’s not what you need Is there something missing when Your buried in your never ending goals Tell me why do you chase a high That won’t make it through the lows Pre Chorus You’re just trying to fight a fight You’re just trying to feel free tonight Bridge If we could see like the blind man Would it open up our eyes If we could hear like the deaf Would we still listen to the lies If we could sing with a mute tongue Until the day we die Maybe we'd find how to feel alive
A song I wrote a couple days ago, I used portions from my poem "Pale and Distant".
