Barely Alive

Never want to lose control
Tempted by the cruel unknown
Tested by addiction
Never thought I'd be its victim
I can feel it deep within
Calling out to me again
Should have seen the symptoms
Forced to face this cold affliction
Every breath is mine to take
I won't slip away

After all I've seen
There's so much more to believe
If I am gonna survive
I'll make it barely alive
There's no place to hide
I'm feeling sick inside
If I am gonna survive
I'll make it barely alive

God I miss so many signs
Wasted years upon my life
Hindered by decisions
Conquered by my superstitions
Constant struggles day to day
There's always something in the way
Reminded by my demons
Never were the voice of reason
Every breath is mine to take
I won't slip away

After all I've seen
There's so much more to believe
If I am gonna survive
I'll make it barely alive
There's no place to hide
I'm feeling sick inside
If I am gonna survive
I'll make it barely alive
I'll make it barely alive

After all I've seen
There's so much more to believe
If I am gonna survive
I'll make it barely alive
There's no place to hide
I'm feeling sick inside
If I am gonna survive
I'll make it barely alive
I'll make it barely alive
