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".
