Live Like You're Alive

Live Like You're Alive is the tenth track on Volume II.

Lyrics
Words

You speak but when you say them

Your eyes always betray them

Awake but hardly breathing

Burying yourself alive

Your past regrets we don't need them

This moment that we living

The joy and pain are bleeding

Why you waste yourself killing time?

Hold

Forever in your eyes

Leave this hell for paradise

Won't you live like you're alive?

And when the sun

Surrenders to the night

Your fears cast shadows deep inside

Go on and live like you're alive

(Live like you're alive)

(Live like you're alive)

(Live like you're alive)

Doors

The ones you never walk through

Do you see me standing

Unafraid and unassuming

I'm yours to take away

Your past regrets we don't want them

This moment that we living

The life you live is fleeting

You waste yourself killing time

Hold

Forever in your eyes

Leave this hell for paradise

Won't you live like you're alive?

And when the sun

Surrenders to the night

Your fears cast shadows deep inside

Go on and live like you're alive

(Live like you're alive)

You're drowning in your own sea

Of complication

If you could own up to me

Live like you're alive

From a swelled world the oceans rise

The rise and fall of blackened tides

Carrying what we possess inside

Hold

Forever in your eyes

Leave this hell for paradise

Won't you live like you're alive?

And the hold

Forever in your eyes

Leave this hell for paradise

Won't you live like you're alive?

And when the sun

Surrenders to the night

Your fears cast shadows deep inside

Go on and live like you're alive

(Live like you're alive)

(Live like you're alive)

(Live like you're alive)
