The Rep - Alive Lyrics
Who woulda thought I woulda made it this farI coulda swore I was hated by GodAnd satan tried hard just to keep me from the TruthYes 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 spoonIf life a suite I gotta Presidential viewBut yet there's still somethin tellin me to leap off itLife is a dream and I sleep oftenNo 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 kidsTil they get the mark of the beast on their foreheadsAnd then they clean it up with bleach when the floor's redHow you supposed to live a dream when you're born dead?I just heard a girl scream with a torn dressThere's got to be more to life than this right? More or less?I'm aliveEven if the world is against meI'm aliveHey I can feel it insideI'm aliveI've lost all controlYou can take my life but can't take my soulHere is to the abused and molestedKicked outta schools, handcuffed and arrestedOur hearts are cold as ice with holes the size of TexasLike tomorrow I'mma kill you but today I buy you breakfastAnd who I'm havin sex with? It's none of your concernSet the President's on fireMeans money just to burnThey said to hurry up just so I could wait my turnBut you can't take my life not if I can take it firstPut a razor to my wrist, one slice at a timeSeek and you will find I'm just preachin to the choirDaddy was a preacher but he beat you with an ironTreat you like a piece of meat!And just feed you to the lions!The cathedral is on fire and they try to save the buildingBut 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 doorThinking on the other side I know there's so much moreThat's when I start to feel alive and I don't know what forLike there's a lion inside of me just shows up ROARTook me a minute but I believeI was locked in a prison but now I'm freeI was lost with no vision but now I seeNow this Life is takin over my body and I can breathe
