Wait another minute Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me I'm alive and still kickin' What you see I can't see and maybe You'll think before you speak I'm alive for you I'm awake because of you I'm alive I told you I'm awake swallowing you Take another second Turn your back on me and make believe that You're always happy It's safe to say you're never alive A big part of you has died And by the way, I hope you're satisfied I'm alive for you I'm awake because of you I'm alive I told you I'm awake swallowing you I'm alive for you I'm awake because of you I'm alive I told you I'm awake Tearing it back unveiling me Taking a step back so I can breathe Hear the silence about to break Fear resistance when I'm awake Tearing it back unveiling me Taking a step back so I can breathe Hear the silence about to break Fear resistance when I'm awake I'm alive for you I'm awake because of you I'm alive I told you I'm awake swallowing you I'm alive for you I'm awake because of you I'm alive I told you I'm awake swallowing you
