Saving Alex - Dead or alive Lyrics

There's an evil, selfish, part of me
That doesn't want my scars to fade
It's that part of me that smiles
When it sees the progress I've made
It lives in the back of my mind
Where my conscience goes to cry
There are too many spiders to see
It's where my monsters go to die
And that dark place however
May just be the reason that I'm alive
It told me the scars were beautiful
When I thought I wouldn't survive
It also told me though
That I'd look pretty in red
That as the blood pour down my arm
It said I'd look much better dead
I carry my burden
My shame, my hate
All across my wrist
I've never let anyone
See me like this
If pain could kill
I would be dead
Words can never hurt me
Only ones unsaid
I wanna evade from a world full of hate
War clouds are gathering day by day
The sky began to gloom
Evening primrose is in bloom
Between madness and sadness
I have to choose
The one that helps me
I'm ready to cut loose
The reason I keep going
Is still unknown to me
Dead or alive
I don't know what I want to be
I carry my burden
My shame, my hate
All across my wrist
I've never let anyone
See me like this
If pain could kill
I would be dead
Words can never hurt me
Only ones unsaid
I carry my burden
My shame, my hate
All across my wrist
I've never let anyone
See me like this
If pain could kill
I would be dead
Words can never hurt me
Only ones unsaid

There's an evil, selfish, part of me
That doesn't want my scars to fade
It's that part of me that smiles
When it sees the progress I've made
It lives in the back of my mind
Where my conscience goes to cry
There are too many spiders to see
It's where my monsters go to die
And that dark place however
May just be the reason that I'm alive
It told me the scars were beautiful
When I thought I wouldn't survive
It also told me though
That I'd look pretty in red
That as the blood pour down my arm
It said I'd look much better dead
I carry my burden
My shame, my hate
All across my wrist
I've never let anyone
See me like this
If pain could kill
I would be dead
Words can never hurt me
Only ones unsaid
I wanna evade from a world full of hate
War clouds are gathering day by day
The sky began to gloom
Evening primrose is in bloom
Between madness and sadness
I have to choose
The one that helps me
I'm ready to cut loose
The reason I keep going
Is still unknown to me
Dead or alive
I don't know what I want to be
I carry my burden
My shame, my hate
All across my wrist
I've never let anyone
See me like this
If pain could kill
I would be dead
Words can never hurt me
Only ones unsaid
I carry my burden
My shame, my hate
All across my wrist
I've never let anyone
See me like this
If pain could kill
I would be dead
Words can never hurt me
Only ones unsaid
