alive

Crawling, twisted, jaded by the light
 The sun touched our skin so we shut it out
 Empty bottles on the window sill
 Images of us that try to hold us down
 The harder that they want us both to fall
 I know that there's a softer place to land
 Where our skin won't bruise
 We can leave them with the ghost of me and you
 We come alive, it's far in my eyes
 When you're alive I burn for you
 We come alive, it's far in my eyes
 When you're alive I burn for you
 Bricks and water, we are building walls
 Like steeples, towers, bolting down the doors
 Safe as houses when the world is cruel
 Can't get in the way they did before
 The harder that they want us both to fall
 I know that there's a softer place to land
 Where our skin won't bruise
 We can leave them with the ghost of me and you
 We come alive, it's far in my eyes
 When you're alive I burn for you
 We come alive, it's far in my eyes
 When you're alive I burn for you
 We come alive, it's far in my eyes
 When you're alive I burn for you
 We come alive, it's far in my eyes
 When you're alive I burn for you
