Lyrics
'Cos it makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
Well it makes me feel alive
Working hard to mask the weakness
It fades away
So many doubts so many fears so much regret but whose to blame
Another day in bed just sleeping
I close my eyes
The medications intoxication self prescribed by me the patient
So every time I wanna hide
I just try another line
It takes a little more each time
I feel a little dead inside
But then I feel the buzz arrive
So I strap in for the ride
I don't care about those danger signs
'Cos it makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
Well it makes me feel alive
So every time I wanna hide
I just try another line
It takes a little more each time
I feel a little dead inside
But then I feel the buzz arrive
So I strap in for the ride
I don't care about those danger signs
'Cos it makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
Well it makes me feel alive
Why does the voice try to defeat me
It's in my head
You're not a man you've got no plan just give it up your life's a sham
It never goes away completely
But there's one thing
I can do to battle through self doubt and fear and start a new
So every time I wanna hide
I just try another line
It takes a little more each time
I feel a little dead inside
But then I feel the buzz arrive
So I strap in for the ride
I don't care about those danger signs
'Cos it makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
It makes me feel alive
Well it makes me feel alive
