THE WORD ALIVE LYRICS

1. Play The Victim

You're the one who always falls apart
The one who plays the victim
Working on your lastest tragedy
When you should try to fix it
You don't understand and
You won't listen!

Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
(WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE!
THE ONES WE LOVE!)
When, when will it end?
We do it to ourselves!
(WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE!
THE ONES WE LOVE!)

I'm not the one you should be worried about
You're so lost, you're so lost
Why does nothing seems to get through you?
These are your problems, there's nothing I can do!
(THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO!)
You don't understand it
You won't LISTEN

Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
(WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE!
THE ONES WE LOVE!)
When, when will it end?
We do it to ourselves!
(TO OURSELVES!)

Knowing your tears are made believe
Snowflakes in the summer
It just doesn't add up, it just doesn't add up
Like icicles in spring

WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
AND SEE THE TRUTH!
I'M NOT LIKE YOU!

Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
(WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE!
THE ONES WE LOVE!)
When, when will it end?
We do it to ourselves!
(WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE!
THE ONES WE LOVE!)

Why do we do what we do?
We do it to our...
Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
WE DO IT TO OUR...

2. Never Forget

And now we're all finding out,
how hard it is to lose.
someone you never thought you'd live without.
Where have you gone?

We'll never get the chance.
To let you know how we felt.
To let you know what you meant.
And all the things you lived for.

The show must go on.
The show must go on.

They'll never be another one like you.
We'll never forget.
Moving on, we know that we have to.
You left behind a mourning world.

Now all your love, they sing your songs.
It's in memories, that you'll live on.

Your life wasn't wasn't in vein.
But without you here, nothing's the same.

Now I have the chance.
To tell them what (what) they mean, what I feel.
I can't leave these words unsaid.
Now I have the chance.
To tell them what (what) they mean, what I feel.
I won't leave these words unsaid.

They'll never be another one like you.
We'll never forget.
Moving on, we know that we have to.
You left behind a mourning world.

Now all your love, they sing your songs.
It's in memories, that you'll live on.

I keep replaying everything you said to me.
The stage is everything, these songs mean everything.
I keep rewinding the painful memory.
The day you left us will always haunt me.

They'll never be another one like you.
We'll never forget.
Moving on, we know that we have to.
You left behind a mourning world.

Now all your love, they sing your songs.
It's in memories, that you'll live on.

You'll live on.
You'll live on.

3. Broken Circuit

Look into my eyes.

Why the fuck did you think I'd just take it?
All the things you said to break me, I faked it!
All I have to say.
I don't know you, and you don't know what I've been through.

Not enough, they always told me.
I'm no one, I never will be.
They were wrong, don't ever listen.
They are wrong.

When everyone thinks you "You've had enough!"
It's your turn, you can't give in.
Just remember to shout "I won't give up"
I won't give up!

Did you think I'd just lay down and die.
My rule's an eye for an eye.
I can't believe you thought I'd listen to you.
I've made mistakes but I'm no fool.

Not enough, they always told me.
I'm no one, I never will be.
They were wrong, don't ever listen.
They are wrong.

[Guitar solo]

When everyone thinks you "You've had enough!"
It's your turn, you can't give in.
Just remember to shout "I won't give up"
I won't give up!

I know why,
you always feel weak it's too hard to fight.
I see why,
but it's now or never take back your life.

It's a fight. Are you with me?
Taking back our lives.
From the thieves who've robbed our minds.
It's a fight. I'm taking back what's rightfully mine.
It's a fight. No escape, no regrets.
I'm not giving up this time.

When everyone thinks you "You've had enough!"
It's your turn, you can't give in.
Just remember to shout "I won't give up"
I won't give up!

I know why,
you always feel weak it's too hard to fight.
I see why,
but it's now or never take back your life.

4. Light House

We stand up tall, even in the dark.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
They can't hold us back.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
We will shine on, to bring us back home.

Sometimes I think I don't belong.
I lose the words, can't find the song.
We all make a choice in life, I pray that I'm wrong.
I could search the endless sky for a reason to survive.
We all get lost inside our broken minds.

We stand up tall, even in the dark.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
They can't hold us back.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
We will shine on, to bring us back home.

Rise above the veil of fear.
Let them see your passion clear.
We all have voices, it's time to be heard.

Wake up! Shine on! This life is ours!

We stand up tall, even in the dark.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
They can't hold us back.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
We will shine on, to bring us back home.

Bring us back home.

We will keep shining on.
We will keep shining on.

We stand up tall, even in the dark.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.
They can't hold us back.
Never forget we are a lighthouse burning all.

We will shine on, to bring us back home.

5. The Fortune Teller

They never said that it'd be easy.
To find another soul that wasn't empty.
Well I know now how hard it can be,
to give and to give not receive.

Never guessing I'd have all the answers.
I lost my mind chasing after her.
This is not what the fortune teller said.
This can't be how it's supposed to be.

Here I am now.
I'm all alone.
And I can't feel you now.
Am I on my own?
Am I on my own?

Why does it always have to end this way?
History repeats and I just stay the same.
The closer and closer I get.
The more and more I choose to forget.

I'm buried deep in this dream we conceived.
Problematic, romantics, I'm lost you see.
It's a difference of opinion, we think we know.
The best way not to feel is to stay alone.

Here I am now.
I'm all alone.
And I can't feel you now.
Am I on my own?
Am I on my own?

Separating what I feel from what I know.
The heart feels what it feels, and then it slows.
Taking prisoners but the head doesn't know.
Self-destruction of our sanity.
You'll get what you deserve,
But never what you need.
What do we need?

Here I am now.
I'm all alone.
And I can't feel you now.
Am I on my own?
Am I on my own?

But I know I'm better this way.
I know I'm better this way.
I'm better this way.

6. Glass Castle

So you think you can get rid of me?
I'll your place at the head of this dynasty.

I am the reason you're alive.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.
When you bite off the hand that feeds,
You'll live without what you truly need.

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything.
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long.

Have you had enough of me?
You act like I'm something you can throw away.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.
When you bite off the hand that feeds,
You'll live without what you truly need.

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything.
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long.

I am the reason you can't run away.
I am the reason you can't escape.
Give up you're mine.
You're terrible inside.
I am the reason you're alive.

You're all emotionless inside.
Give up you're mine.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.
When you bite off the hand that feeds,
You'll live without what you truly need.

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything.
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long.

7. 94th Street

We can't keep running in circles.
Have we lost our minds.
We can't keep running in circles.
Have we lost our mind.

We search for meaning that we can't find.
Waiting all our lives.
We look for answers inside.
Are we all alone?
It's all a lie.

What am I doing here? [2x]
There's no clear destination.
Illusion traps me here.
I can't find a resolution.
Never letting go of fear.

[2x]
We search for meaning that we can't find.
Waiting all our lives.
We look for answers inside.
Are we all alone?
It's all a lie.

I can't keep running in circles.
The dangers of losing your mind.
I can't keep edging out the routine of my life.

Why can't we control, the absence of what we don't know.
So I can find a reason.
To find a way to let go.

We search for meaning that we can't find.
Waiting all our lives.
We look for answers inside.
Are we all alone?
It's all a lie.

8. Your Mirage

You're the only one!
You're the only one!

Why can't this be what I want it to be?
Why can't I have the life I keep dreaming?
An empty bed with no one to share...
Moments too brief like you weren't even there!
Every second without you here,
I keep thinking, I'll wake up
And you'll be there!

You're the only one I need.
Your body pressing against me.
I'll always be rushing home to see your face,
A never ending chase.

Keep asking questions, will there be answers?
Hidden mysteries, is this a love affair?

And you'll be there.
You know that I will be there.
For you, you know that I will be there.

You're the only one I need.
Your body pressing against me.
I'll always be rushing home to see your face,
A never ending chase.

When I'm gone, are you lying there?
Thinking about a life that we can't share.
Empty promises I give, another life.
This isn't it, this isn't it!
I won't let them destroy my dream.
I would give you my everything.
I can't let things just end this way.
You are my blessing, I am your curse.

9. Terminal

I am a creature,
who lies in wait.
I'm not the man you think I am.
I will bring you down.

I can't relinquish my grip.
I know that you're breathing but do better than this.
I can't relinquish my grip.
I know that you're breathing but do better than this.
(High scream over shred)

Don't believe in me.
I'll bring you down.
You know I want you to drown.
I'm water in your lungs.
Don't believe in me.
I'll bring you down.
-
I will bring you down.
(Ah ah)

I am the darkness in your life, why you can't sleep at night.
I am the weakness of your mind, your life is mine.
Mine.

I can be, I can be... Who I need to be, need to be.
I am transforming.
I can be, I can be... Who I need to be, need to be.
I am transforming.
-
You won't like what you see.

Don't believe in me.
I'll bring you down.
You know I want you to drown.
I'm water in your lungs.
Don't believe in me.
I'll bring you down.

I've ruined everything I love.
I've thrown away almost everyone.
-
I've ruined everything I love.
I've thrown away almost everyone.

Don't believe in me.
I'll bring you down.
You know I want you to drown.
I'm water in your lungs.
Don't believe in me.
I'll bring you down.

Don't believe in me, I'll bring you down.

10. The Runaway

You get caught in a hurricane.
Scattered thoughts make you go insane.
You lock yourself in your own cage.
Hide the keys and then fade away.

You are not alone.

We can get through it tonight.
I will be the anchor to your runaway train tonight.
I will be the beacon when you're feeling insane.
I know it hurts sometimes, so I'll get in line with you.
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train.

I will be your anchor.

You think this could be the end,
an afterlife is just pretend.
Illuminate the darkest days.
I'm never leaving your side, I'm here to stay.

You are not alone.

We can get through it tonight.
I will be the anchor to your runaway train tonight.
I will be the beacon when you're feeling insane.
I know it hurts sometimes, so I'll get in line with you.
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train.

Never look back, never regret, all of the words you said in hope.
Never pretend, never the end, there's always a fight to win.

Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train.
Tonight, I will be the beacon when you're feeling insane.
I know it hurts sometimes, so I'll get in line with you.
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train.

11. To Struggle & Claw My Way

I am not afraid of you.
This is your anthem to sing to.
"I am not afraid of you."
Be who you are not what they told you.

Everybody wants to be on top.
Nobody wants to work for anything they've got.
Everybody says you are "you're not".
I want you to fight until you're something their not.

Even if this ends today.
I'd be happy to walk away.
Every day I lived a dream.
I gave my life meaning.

And every day you sing along.
Is a day I know I belong.
To struggle and claw my way,
to find out who I'm not.
And every day you sing along.
Is a day I know I belong.
To struggle and claw my way,
to find out who I'm not.

If you want to be like me.
Look in the mirror and find what you see.
Anybody can live their dreams.
Be the next you, not me.


And every day you sing along.
Is a day I know I belong.
To struggle and claw my way,
to find out who I'm not.
And every day you sing along.
Is a day I know I belong.
To struggle and claw my way,
to find out who I'm not.

And all they want to hear you say is "I surrender".
And all I want to hear you say is:

I am not afraid.
Not afraid.
I am not afraid.
(Not afraid)
I'll find my way.

And every day you sing along.
Is a day I know I belong.
To struggle and claw my way,
to find out who I'm not.
And every day you sing along.
Is a day I know I belong.
To struggle and claw my way,
to find out who I'm not.

12. Collapsing

Desires are dangerous things.
Bringing sorrow to many, men to their knees.
You've built your life to live with no regrets.
But the secret is none of us could ever really live.
So here you are at the end of the road,
wondering which path to take, or if you'll ever know.
You'll live to sing again, you'll live to sing again.

You'll live to love again.
You'll live to love again.

Your world.
Your world is falling apart.
The darkness seizing your heart.
You keep falling further away.
These desperate feelings, you wish would go away.

There are times in this world, nothing makes sense but the dark.
Nothing makes sense but the dark you know too well.

And nothing matters when you can't feel anymore.
And nothings worth the fight when the fights all you do any more.

Your world.
Your world is falling apart.
The darkness seizing your heart.
You keep falling further away.
These desperate feelings, you wish would go away.

You keep falling and you're not sure where you'll will land.
These distant memories are all that you have.

You'll live to love again.
You'll live to love again.

13. Pull Us Out Of The Grave

[Bonus Track]

If we were just born to die,
What's the difference between you and I?
Nothing!
Nothing!
You don't believe in anything

I can't believe that you can live this way
Are you so perfect, without feelings?
I can't believe that you would die this way
Cause you're all alone, afraid to think

I am not afraid to die alone
I never wanted to question fate
It's like a fight without a win

If we were just born to die,
What's the difference between you and I?
Nothing!
Nothing!
You don't believe in anything

Do you believe in everything you see?
It's just to fill the book you never read
Do I question every single thing?
I have to believe that there's meaning!
Give me meaning!

I keep fighting and I keep lying
Lying to myself, again and again
Lying to myself, is this all pretend?
Lying to myself, again and again
Lying to myself, will this ever end?

Are we alone?
And where we can't go home?
Are we meant to die alone?
I want to pull us out of the grave
It's a grave but we're meant to know
Is there some day where we go home?
It's a grave and we're meant to know
I don't believe we are alone!

What's the difference between you and I?
Nothing!
Nothing!
Nothing!
Nothing!

14. Exit Strategy

[Bonus Track]

What are you hiding?
What's hidden underneath?
I have this feeling it's gonna be the death of me

What are you hiding?
What's hidden underneath?
I have this feeling it's gonna be the death of me

We can't believe what we think we see
I'm begging you for understanding
We can't believe what we see
I'm begging you

You just want the best of me
And I know that I can't take the easy way out
The easy way out...

I saw what you wanted me to see
A life you can't have, but it's a dream
Don't you see the way you've rigged the lies you've told me?
You're the deceived
We are the deceived
We are the deceived

Heads in the clouds and foots in the ground
Do you believe what you see?
Heads in the clouds and foots in the ground
I can't believe what I see

You just want the best of me
And I know that I can't take the easy way out
The easy way out...
You just want the rest of me
I can't live when I know all the secrets you keep
Secrets you keep...

I can't forget what you've done to me
Realizing what I failed to see
Reality!
Retracing my steps only to see my regrets

You just want the best of me
And I know that I can't take the easy way out
The easy way out...
You just want the rest of me
I can't live when I know all the secrets you keep
Secrets you keep...
