Alive

"Never resist your impulses, rely on your own instincts" she says
your graces jumped from your lips
at a remarkable even flow
I'll split this one for you
I'll never fall away again
I'll never fall away again
stay quiet behind your teeth
whisper your memory to me
raise your hands towards the heavens
and pray for a miracle
may they have their way with you
each season will take you under
under the docks and under the world we thought we knew
under the blanket that keeps you warm
you can break free from your chains
take back the life you started (it was never theirs) 
I am here beside you now (now I am here)
fall fast asleep and I'll keep you safe
the world can chase you around in circles
until their voices bleed from their liars throats
and their legs will shatter beneath them
they find themselves toiling in catastrophe.
Oh when will they find their purpose?
I hold my breath while our eyes align
our whole lives laid out
right in front of us 
I devote every breath I take to the softness of your skin
here I stand in this temporary complextion 
I knew the crowd would be pleased to see us drift away
so we drift away, away, away
those monsters will never know what its like
to see the sun hold the moon
to burn fire underwater
or feel the heat around you
we are alone, we are alive.
I am a broken ship
sunk inside the the sea of souless creatures
I stretch out across the emptiness below
I die amoung the sand with your treasure in my hand
all is well above the crashing waves
above lies an entire universe 
I forgot about them years ago
and all of their selfish ways
ive seen them scream freedom to each other
they are locked and loaded
yet they cry for peace
they wade in the shallow end
yet here we lie deep inside the sand 
I could live like this forever
never fear from any terror
they map out their words with a broken pencil
strike us down (they will give it a go)
but im wearing a bullet proof vest made of heart and lungs
where no conformity can lie dormant
and no bullet can touch me
my torch sets fire and burns through the deep end of our ocean
we wont die without courage
we will never die alone
we will never die alone
we will never die alone
the fire burns through their blankets and their sheets
melting away the life long production
and claiming their lost souls to the sea
where they become alive
they are alive, they are alive.
