Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm looking for a way to step off this ledge
Where certainty lives down below
I'm looking for an answer that makes sense
Which voice is really my own
The walls I built are closing in
That save me from the thoughts within
Take me from this hell I live
I'm trying to believe again
[Chorus]
I'm so terrified to be alive
A sick paradigm inside my mind
I'm looking for a way to fly
Why do I embrace the lie
The lie that it's better to die?
[Verse 2]
Coming to a point where I'm losing hope
Approaching the fork in the road
Strangled by the end of my own rope
Waging the war for my soul
It's fueling at my burning rage
I'm stuck like a rat in a cage
The experiment that never ends
I'm tired of playing pretend
[Chorus]
I'm so terrified to be alive
A sick paradigm inside my mind
I'm looking for a way to fly
There's no other reason why
I'm so scared that I'll embrace the lie
[Bridge]
I fear I'll never find how to survive
I'm standing on the edge of Occam's knife
It's you I have to blame, so say goodbye
I'm not afraid to dance with the devil, die
[Bridge]
Face this depravity, face my mortality
Grave left empty
Death will not swallow me, won't be my destiny
This is not me
Walk through the fire, crucify the liar
Old passed away
Bright as the day, spirit renewed, reborn
Flesh on the pyre
[Bridge]
This won't take me alive
Give me strength to live life
In the pain, in the pyre
I won't be consumed
This doom will never take me alive
[Chorus]
I'm so terrified to be alive
A sick paradigm inside my mind
I'm looking for a way to fly
Gotta be a reason why
Been walking through the dead of night
Guide me to a shining light
I'm looking for a way to run
I wanna finally see the sun
I'm so paralyzed
Please redesign
And crush this desire to die
[Outro]
I fear I'll never find how to survive
I'm so paralyzed, please redesign
There's no turning back to say goodbye
I'm not afraid to face my mortality, rise
