According to drummer Andrew Tkaczyk in speaking to Blunt Magazine, “‘Still Alive’ is the last song we wrote for the record.

[Verse 1]
Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I'm right where I need to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Against all odds
I won't be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
[Chorus]
Still alive, still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive, still alive
I said it before, "Only the strong survive"
You fall, you get up, you never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn't give up, it's time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind, still alive
[Verse 2]
My hands were at my side and despite what you think
Not giving up the fight, a second chance at life
Look in my eyes and you will find
I'm twice the man I've left behind
I spoke to death and said we'd meet again
It's not my time, it's not the end
All the doubts just in my head
So let's go, full speed ahead
[Pre-Chorus]
Against all odds
I won't be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
[Chorus]
Still alive, still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive, still alive
I said it before, "Only the strong survive"
You fall, you get up, you never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn't give up, it's time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind
[Bridge]
From the ashes, brought back to life
This is the new sound of sacrifice
This is the new sound of sacrifice
[Outro]
Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I'm right where I'm meant to be
