Story Behind The Song
I believe that we as humans need to feel a sense of validation, afterall that is the reason why the greatest philosophers, poets and writers of our history have asked, "Why are we here?" To what end? Are you wasting away the little time you were given? Someone said once that you can't drink/smoke/snort your problems away...and that you can't buy happiness...the question is, are you doing what makes you feel a sense of purpose and can you declare it with a clear conscience??? Do you FEEL alive?
Song Description
Feel Alive? came around with observations of many lives including my own. Some people fool themselves with money, some fool themselves with drugs, but at the end of the day, do you feel alive? We do what we must to make ourselves feel productive, to give ourselves a sense of value, sometimes its busywork, and sometimes fulfillment of destiny.

Lyrics
So you say that you are losing touch
With all the things you used to love so much
You use your money as your crutch
To convince yourself your a success with all of your excess but its just bullshit, for wealth does not a good man beget
So you say that you have lost your thrill
and that you are trying so hard to kill
all of your demons with these pleasure pills
but your just killing yourself and your mind and your will...I say...
You're running out of time, you'd better do what you were meant to
Before your winter arrives
Someday you're gonna see the sign and when you finally do it gonna blow your mind
You're going to feel alive
So you say you got your alibi's
But the truth got lost in all of your lies
There's certain things you should not comprosmise
Like your hellos and goodbyes and surprise, how 'bout your life?
I say get wise, and lose your disguise today.
So you smoke your fancy cigarrettes
and proudly flaunt your social coronet
But no matter how you sweat you're still in debt
Now that the sun has set and its time to get on with your regret...here it comes....
You're running out of time, you'd better do what you were meant to
Before your winter arrives
Someday you're gonna see the sign and when you finally do it gonna blow your mind
You're going to feel alive
