This song almost acts as a sequel to No Devotion, the previous track on the EP, with Leach feeling alive again after escaping his abuser/s and overcoming some of his struggles. He tells everyone struggling with their own issues that if he can do it, they can do it too.
[Intro]
(I feel alive again)
(I feel alive again)
[Verse 1]
One last caress in a world so desperate
Holding on to a shred of hope only by a thread
Waiting for someone, someone to be there
To remind us that we can heal our disrepair
Can we not see there is a need
A need to disconnect this cycle of dismay
[Verse 2]
This desperation is now deeper than you know
Longing to hear a voice to say you’re not alone
So with these words I’m reaching out
To say that I fought through and found my way again
[Chorus]
This is where it all began
I found the strength to try again
I feel alive again
I feel alive again
I fight beyond the pain
[Bridge]
Looking through the darkness, the nothing, the worthlessness
Longing for the light
Beyond the grey of sorrows song
Before the fall is where the last hope is found
Desperate for a release
To give just a glimpse of peace
A fleeting clarity
A sense of things beyond our eyes
We may never be complete
But in this life we seem to feel alive
[Outro/Chorus]
I feel alive again
I feel alive again
Alive
I fight beyond the pain
