Arrive Alive Lyrics - Singles - Before Braille

You try to make this last 

But your candles burn too fast 

Divided before you were born 

Were you divided from your former you 

You'll never make it far 

Well it's time, so let go of my arm 

You're dying north of 40 

You are destined for its solitude 

Just pull the cover over your eyes 

Or do what just feels good 

It's easy to be content about your life 

Until it's over 

Why does this feel so good 

Won't somebody tell me while I'm alive 

Why can't I withstand 

my lust is so much stronger than my love for life 

(It's just fate to play) 

Will you take over when I'm bleeding 

Watch me squeeze out every pint I've got 

It's over 

I can feel it 

Well-rehearsed accidents prepare to stop 

And I am trying 

Know what you want before you start 

I read your diary (to get to know you) 

I skipped right to the end (I don't feel guilty) 

Empty pages (of untold stories) 

For days you didn't want to live (oh well, you've given up) 

Too late to decide my fate or re-write autobiographies 

And though I just woke up, I feel that I'm washed up 

You're always fake (you fear the worst) 

Because you've been betrayed (so well rehearsed) 

It's your fault I can believe handshakes 

I've gone far enough, that's why I'm washed up 

It's over, I mean it 

It's over, I believe it now 

I'm washed up
