Alive and Well

You were cutting it close

Hope you're glad that you made it

You were checking the pulse to find that it was still beating

Then you cave, baring all of your heart, it's inflated

Just so you know, so it's understood, this means nothing to me

Why celebrate?

I want to die, and I really mean it

I want to kill the conversation

You want to keep it alive and well

I want to kill the conversation

You want to keep it alive and well

Look at yourself, coming for blood

Calling my name, drag it through mud

Playing the game, thinking you won

I got my life back

You're talking it over, although we know it's much too late

Last-minute surrender, waving the whitest flag they make

You misread the chip on my shoulder

You're pulling me closer, but what if I fight back?

You've been chasing a ghost, taking swings for the fences

It's a little morose when you know I'm defenseless

What can I say?

I had my pride, but it's now defeated

I want to kill the conversation

You want to keep it alive and well

I want to kill the conversation

You want to keep it alive and well

Look at yourself, coming for blood

Calling my name, drag it through mud

Playing the game, thinking you won

I got my life back

You're talking it over, although we know it's much too late

Last-minute surrender, waving the whitest flag they make

You misread the chip on my shoulder

You're pulling me closer, but what if I fight back?
