[Verse 1]
Woke up underwater, throat chained at the collar
Couldn't get any farther from the daylight
Was I still dreamin', stuck to a machine or
Chokin' and screamin' with my hands tied?
[Pre-Chorus]
Callin' and callin', but nobody comes
Fallin' and fallin', no air in my lungs
Gettin' so comfortably numb
Don't know how I opened up my eyes
[Chorus]
But I'm still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me somethin' to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell, but I'm back and I'm breathin'
Make me bleed while my heart is still beatin'
[Post-Chorus]
Still alive
[Verse 2]
Sucked out the poison, drowned out thе noise
'Cause I made a choicе and drew a hard line
Let the fire catch until I'm back to ash
If anybody asks, I'm turnin' back time
[Pre-Chorus]
Chasin' the ghosts that would haunt me at night
Facin' my past 'cause I'm up for the fight
Somebody turned on the light
I'm not afraid to open up my eyes
[Chorus]
But I'm still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me somethin' to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell, but I'm back and I'm breathin'
Make me bleed while my heart is still beatin'
[Bridge]
Already died
Suddenly, I'm
[Chorus]
Still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me somethin' to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell, but I'm back and I'm breathin'
Make me bleed while my heart is still beatin'
[Post-Chorus]
Still alive
Still alive
[Outro]
Still alive

The song that I created for the movie was obviously for the movie, but I wanted it to tie into the film, but also it’s a very personal song for me too.
