To Be Alive

There's a hole in the ground
 That i've dug with your grudge
 And have been buried in a thousand times
 When I cover it up
 There's never enough dirt left for me to bury mine
 And all the muddied implications
 Implemented on this epitaph
 Are fading into blurry light
 Blind as i'm binding all the hate
 That I have left in my heart
 Together with the weight that I am leaving behind
 There is nothing here to humanize your soul
 I would take control
 If I could tell you that I
 I've got a right to be
 Right to be alive
 Because I can't slow down
 Can't slow down tonight
 Tooth and nail against myself
 I match my ego with your
 Help to cut the rope
 And let this hollow image
 Sink back down
 You sang to close to the sun
 Couldn't take the heat
 So you let your ambitions freeze
 Now you try to take mine from me
 Trying to steal my energy
 Slipped through the cracks
 And now you're falling for hundreds of miles
 Failed like you had when I once reached for your number to dial
 Can't let you down while you're stuck in the ground
 Because i'm above that now
 And i'll rise to new heights without you
 You who had brought me to dark days
 To battle my demons in all the worst ways
 I could hold the weight of the world with my name
 I could show what I can't say
 If I could tell you that I
 I've got a right to be
 Right to be alive
 Because I can't slow down
 Can't slow down tonight
 Tooth and nail against myself
 I match my ego with your
 Help to cut the rope
 And let this hollow image
 Sink back down
 You sang too close to the sun
 Scuffed up your grief
 And pretended to run
 You blamed it all on your blood
 But the birthrights been bruised
 The damage is done
 You sang too close to the sun
 Sunk to the earth
 For the vultures to come take your body
 Now the damage is done
 Now the damage is done
 Who are you to make me choose?
 Between the light I hold in my hands
 And a toxic little bitch
 If I could tell you that I (Tell you that I)
 I've got a right to be
 Right to be alive (Right to be alive)
 Because I can't slow down
 Can't slow down tonight
 Tooth and nail against myself
 I match my ego with your
 Help to cut the rope
 And let this hollow image
 Sink back down
