Alive In The Fire

Under The Flood Alive In The Fire Lyrics
1.Sickness

Will you ever change?
All I see's the same thing.
Watched you run away, watched you run from me.

You were such a shame tonight with double crossed bloodshot eyes
She fell to the ground, well it's a long way down
I just wanted you to clarify, how the thrill was worth the ride

But she just sits and she cries
Ignoring all of the signs
Maybe she'll take the time
To stop and realize

She's got a sickness now
And she can't slow down
Better take a look at herself
You better take a look at yourself
You're not a wasted life
You're just afraid to try and fight the fear inside
To the fight the fear in your eyes

Too afraid to live your life
You're poisoned and paralyzed
She crawled down the stairs
But there was nobody there
All alone in an empty high
You're locked up and terrified

But she sits time after time
Avoiding all of the signs
Maybe she'll take the time
To finally realize


Well I'm not judging you, I'm not judging you
But look at yourself, just look at her


She's got a sickness now, and she can't slow down
She's got a sickness now, and she can't slow down.


2.Holding On

Oh I'm so close to giving up
While I am staring at the ceiling
Cause it's too much I've had enough
And I don't think I'm strong enough
To survive this fear, I hope I disappear.

Cause we're lost in this empty place
When all we wanna do is walk away
Caught in an endless race
Searching for saving grace
And everytime you call out don't look down
Cause there's hope and I want you to know
You're better than it all so hold on
Cause you don't have to fall

All alone I pace the shadows
Can I face another minute of this life
So many things that I wanna be
So many dreams that I wanna see
So desperately, to save me from the neverending


It's so hard to see the strength in me
I wonder am I breathing?
I'm beggin please don't give up on me
My heart's still beating alone
But I'm still bleeding, don't let go of me.


Oh I'm so close to giving up but I, I can't let this fall.


3.Escape


4.Healing

Shake me
Cause I'm not awake I'm dreaming
This'll all go away it's not happening to me
It's not happening to me
And then it hit me
And it took me off of my feet
Suddenly I was empty
From losing all the parts of me
That I wish wouldn't leave

And could you tell me what it's like to be alone
Cause I don't know
And could you tell me what it's like to let them go

And all I have left is falling
Somebody shake me and wake me
Cause I must be dreaming
Take me away, take me away
Cause I can't stay in this place
Take me away, take me away
I must be dreaming

Sinking far away from feeling
Like all of this is happening to me
It's not happening to me
Take me away from all the pain
Cause it's pouring over me
I can't get away from all the pain in me

And could you tell me what it's like to be alone
Cause I don't know
And could you tell me what it's like to let them go


Look around, I'm face down on the ground
I'm callin out to you
Cause the hardest part of hurting is healing
You wonder why your eyes are so wide
You're looking for a sign
Cause everything is gonna be allright.

And all I have left is falling around me
And take me away, Cause I must be dreaming


And all I have left is falling...


5.Long Way Up


6.Believe

All I know is empty
And all I feel's the same
All I've got means nothing
Someone rescue me

From the lonely road that I can't leave
And the only hope is to believe...

All I am is fading
From all the same routines
All I see is failing
Someone help me breathe

Cause it's a long way up to face this
And the only hope is to believe
If there was one way out to change this
If you had one last chance, would you take it?

Always walking sideways
Always keep the pace
I've never done it my way
I just need to change

Cause it's a long way up to face this
And the only hope is to believe
If there was one way out to change it all
If you had one last chance, would you take it?

Well I've known this cage for way too long
And I feel like breaking out
And I feel like losing myself
I've lived with things that I've done wrong
And we knew it all along
Can we move on?


Cause I've seen the places I don't belong
And I feel like movin on
Surrounded by the paralyzed, they're too afraid to run
I won't be a slave to anyone, I won't waste away or come undone
But can we move on?


Cause I've known this cage for way too long
And I feel like breakin out
And I feel like losin myself
I've lived with things that I've done wrong
But we knew it all along
So can we move on?


So Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down


7.Alive In The Fire

Well don't blame me if I learned to walk before I flew
I don't blame you, Don't tell me that the world was owed to you
Well maybe that road wasn't right for you.
Cause I've seen the faces you've turned away, Don't call me a
liar
I've been knocked down, I've been walked on, But I've stood in
the fire.

And here we all stand, folding our hands
Waiting for the chance (are you waiting for a chance)
To never look back again (to never look back again)
And fear won't find me afraid of falling down
We're not lookin down, You won't turn us around

Well here it is another endless wave of TV made kings on parade
Living out a fantasy, so ungratefully because you never really
had to bleed
Well I'm told you're in control, breaking the mold, you're
bought and sold
You stole the sanctity of how it used to be, it's blasphemy


There's a reason we were meant to be here
A reason we believe

You'll never be alone again
we'll never be alone

And here we all stand, folding our hands
You'll never be alone.

We all stand with folded up hands prayin our plans will somehow
see the end.


8.Wake Up

Wake up, save us from turning to
Everything we see inside you
Hate runs deep in that part of you
And the cycle will continue

So unaware, we're so unafraid
Your empty stare, leads your eyes away
The one thing we all can fear lives in us
The wandering lives are helpless victims

We rise to fall, we lose it all.

Run
Closer to the feeling we've lost
We can become
So much more than how we live
Wait
It's just another fear in your life
We can replace
Everything we are

More broken hearts are all we see
Been torn apart by jealously
The one thing we all can fear moves in us
The wandering eyes are losing focus

Well are we losing our faith?
Can we not overcome?
How long will we wait before we're overrun?


Wake up, save us from turning to
Everything we see inside you
Hate runs deep in that part of you
And the cycle will continue

Are we losing our faith?
Can we not overcome?
How much more will we wait before we're overrun?


9.Face Of A Lie

You couldn't get another dime out of life
Without the limelight, another trip in the night
Will it make it allright?
It took a second to find that you were one of their kind
Don't forget about me
We all started at the bottom of the barrel
Sympathized with the way things could have been
We all tried from the moment we were able,
To deliver you what you couldn't do

But I see the way it's changing you

Don't lie, Don't even try and hide
Forget pride are you lookin me right in the eyes
This life we gave isn't live or die
You lived twice well you're lucky to be alive

You like to say that luck doesn't exist
You make your own luck, well how did that end up?
With every door shut, it was easy to find that you had run out
of time
Don't forget about me
We all see what it's like to turn your back on
The one reason you were given a second chance
Believing you're the reason this came to be
Believe me we're the reason you're breathing

But I see the way it's changing you
It's the look in your eyes
And I see a different face than I knew
It's the face of a lie.

Don't lie, Don't even try and hide
Forget pride are you lookin me right in the eyes
This life we gave isn't live or die
You're lucky you're alive
And I hate the way you're so blind
Well you're lucky to be alive
ANd I hate the way you love yourself

How long until you fall?
It's been so long
You're too far gone
Will you start to believe
When your hope is gone
Will you finally see what you've done?


10.Gravity

I found another one
Who's infected by greed
Such a lazy one
I think I know what we need
It's a loaded gun
We'll put it right between the teeth
Of a lucky one
We'll put him down on his kness
And tell me why you're so pathetic
Tell me why I shouldn't let it burn

Oh it's a shame to see such a tragedy
Well you're dead to me you're dead to me
So long to gravity, It can't hold me down
You can't hold me now.

You've got the perfect blend
But if you mix it all in
With the filth of men
What comes out in the end is a mockery
A self-righteous disease
Get the gasoline
I think it's just what we need
And tell me why you're so pathetic
Tell me why I shouldn't let it burn

Oh it's a shame to see such a tragedy
Well you're dead to me you're dead to me
So long to gravity, It can't hold me down
You can't hold me now.

I have watched a race of human decay
Waiting for me to break
Did you think that I'd walk away?
How could I believe a disgrace like you?
A waste like you, a waste of so much hate.

Can't you see you're in way to deep with the guilty?
Such a tragedy, Well get on your knees get on your knees
Hard to breathe when you're on your knees, get on your knees
Cause you're dead to me.

Oh it's a shame to see such a tragedy
Well you're dead to me you're dead to me
So long to gravity it can't hold me down
You can't hold me now
(So long to it)


11.The Moment

I woke just to watch you sleep
The way you breathe,
The effect you had on me,
But maybe I foolishly waited patiently
For the things that I'll never see
I guess what you wanted
Was a product of a temporary haze
Or maybe you wanted to get caught up
In the thought of me.

The moment that I fell for you
If only I'd have known what you'd do
And every little thing I thought I knew
It keeps on coming back to you
The moment that I found the truth
Of every little thing that you do to me
What you do to me

Watching our worlds collide
Like black and white
Was more than I could take
And all of the countless times
You crossed the line
I looked the other way,
Was it a game for you
A game for two
Well you played me like a fool
And I gave it all to you
And you threw it all away
You threw it all away


You come around with your head in the clouds
Well come out
You run around with a face full of doubt
Your cover's blown and you're still all alone
Well I'm gone, well I'm gone, well I'm gone

The moment that I fell for you
If only I'd have known what you'd do
And I thought that I knew
Everything about you
The moment that I fell for you
The moment that I found the truth.


(The moment)

You come around with your head in the clouds
Well come out, well come out, well come out.


12.Miracle

She never wanted no she never wanted it to be
Another loss, another regret
It's been so long that I've become another memory
Losing Progress

Hide come quickly she's a criminal
And she knows it all too well
I, I'm addicted I need a miracle

I'm helpless, from the way she looks at me
She's hopeless, and it pulls me underneath
I never wanted no, I never wanted it to be
Another waste, another regret
It's been so long that she's becoming all that I can see
And I'm fading.

Never thought that we'd become this lost

Hide come quickly she's a criminal
And she knows it all too well
I, I'm addicted I need a miracle
Who's watchin over me?
Tonight we'll give this life another try
This time we'll draw outside the lines
You'll be safe when it's over.

She's helpless
But I'm patient
And she's hopeless
