I WOKE UP ALIVE

Lyrics

I am a god, do what she does

When I don't feel nothing, start to slip to underneath
Pushing leads to shoving, I wish I could be released
Put a pistol to my head and pull the trigger in my dreams
Then I wake up with my demons and the torture all repeats, ah

I like being in full control
Don't need the pills, a sip, or aerosol
I go to therapy, that's why I know
To keep ten toes down and my fingers on your throat

I am a god, do what she does
I'll pull the weight of all of us
I am a god, do what she does
I'll pull the weight of all of us

Got thirty something reasons why I gave up on amphetamines
Yeah, I could see the devil in the mirror staring back at me
I saw my shadow on a wall, somewhere in the in-between
I tried to run, but every step, I know it's always following
So press the gun beneath my chin and pull the trigger
But I'll always wake up alive with the sun in my eyes
My pulse don't get much quicker because god never dies

I am a god, do what she does
I'll pull the weight of all of us
I am a god, do what she does
I'll pull the weight of all of us

I, I, I
I, I, I
I, I, I
I, I, I
I am a god, do what she does
I, I, I
I am a god, do what she does
I, I, I

I am
I am a god, I am a god, I am a god
I am a god, do what she does
