So this is what it's like to be alive, Wide awake I open up my eyes Tell me what this life it really means When nothing in my head is what it seems Sooner or later you'll be the shadow Crawling in my head Take it or leave it, you're like a sickness I am infected If this is what it's like to be alive Darker days have taken up my time A little change is all I really need Take me down a road I've never been Sooner or later you'll be the shadow Crawling in my head Take it or leave it, you're like a sickness I am infected When everything is going wrong, Turn around and carry on Kiss the pain and say goodbye, You can leave this world tonight We were meant to feel the sun Burn away from every one When you feel so far from home, Close your eyes cuz Sooner or later you'll be the shadow Crawling in my head Take it or leave it, you're like a sickness I am infected
