Lyrics

Still Alive
Verse:
Bit my tongue again just so words won?t come out
Held my breath so long
I thought that I?d pass out
Dug my fingernails deep in to control the anger raging within

Chorus:
Alone the silence is deafening
All I hear is the sound of my breath
That?s good, it reminds me
I?m still alive

Verse:
I cannot breathe
Escape until you leave
My skin crawls when you touch me
Your breath melts away my innocence
Did you think it was okay

Chorus:
Alone the silence is deafening
All I hear is the sound of my breath
That?s good, it reminds me
I?m still alive

Verse:
Desperate to taste the wine
Who cares how sour the fruit has become
I?m overpowered by my sense of shame
Adrenaline pumpin, my hearts thumpin
Afraid of the darkness and what it brings
Your every move pushes me
Closer to revenge

Chorus:
Alone the silence is deafening
All I hear is the sound of my breath
That?s good, it reminds me
I?m still alive

Solo: Chorus
