Amphabian - Dead Or Alive Lyrics

When I'm trying to see
When I'm trying to be
A man without a past
It takes all of me
It takes the best of me
But still, I know it can't last
It takes a will, you know?
It takes 'till you grow
And even then, it can pass
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
All that is unknown
All this is in my home
Forgot to make it with love
I've got the biggest bone
So hard it feels like stone
Still, I can feel it above
The sounds that make me make
A melody, give or take
Some reasons just
Don't add up
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Reaching for the sky
Sometimes, I don't know why
Is it to prove that I can?
Don't see what I've caused
Don't know if it's a pause
Too soon to know if I ran
Tonight is history
Nothing but chemistry
So hot, we might need a fan
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
(Dead or a, dead or a, dead or a
Dead or alive)
A cut to the skin
Can happen to many men
For reasons to be ignored
Could we be a sin?
I only want to win
I've done it all
Now I'm bored
Which way do I go
And still stay below
The people that I adore?
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
One thing that I know
Before you close the door
You can't escape with a plan
You've got to sit up straight
Look right into the bait
Just maybe after you can
It's easy to ignore
What's always at the core
When will you understand?
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
I don't wanna wait
It's gonna be great
Nothing you do will be wrong
This is, never late
This is, never fate
It's what I knew all along
It's waiting at the gate
Won't work through your hate
This is the end of this song
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
(Dead or a, dead or a, dead or a
Dead or alive)
Dead or alive

When I'm trying to see
When I'm trying to be
A man without a past
It takes all of me
It takes the best of me
But still, I know it can't last
It takes a will, you know?
It takes 'till you grow
And even then, it can pass
A defective purpose
Could be the reason
A reflective surface
Could tell us a lie
It's deeper than
Any who ask why
It tougher than any skin
Dead or alive
