Alive & Well

You were cutting it close
Hope you’re glad that you made it
You were checkin’ the pulse
To find that it was still beating
When you caved
Baring all of your heart, it's inflated
Just so you know, so it’s understood this means nothing to me
Why celebrate? I want to die and I really mean it

And I want to kill the conversation
You want to keep it alive and well
I want to kill the conversation
You want to keep it alive and well

Look at yourself, coming for blood
Callin’ my name, drag it through the mud
Playing the game, thinkin’ you won
I got my life back

You’re talking it over
I already know it’s much too late
Let’s let it surrender
Waving the whitest flag they made
You misread the chip on my shoulder
You’re pulling me closer
But what if I fight back?

You’ve been chasing a ghost
Taking swings for the fences
It’s a little morose
When you know I’m defenseless
What can I say?
I had my pride but it’s now defeated

I want to kill the conversation
You want to keep it alive and well
I want to kill the conversation
You want to keep it alive and well

Look at yourself, coming for blood
Callin’ my name, drag it through the mud
Playing the game, thinkin' you won
I got my life back

You’re talking it over
I already know it’s much too late
Let’s let it surrender
Waving the whitest flag they made
You misread the chip on my shoulder
You’re pulling me closer
But what if I fight back?
