Come Alive

I want something new
Can’t explain exactly what it is
How to get through
How to whisper screams from the inside
All the ways I wish I’d come alive
All the ways I wish
Dreams were mostly true
Opposite of what it is that
dims me darker blue
Holding breath one barely can survive
In a gasp I know I’ll come alive
And the fear inside
Can’t confine, control, and conquer me again
Even to the bitter bitter end
I want something new
A fundamental element that’s true
In a sea of soul I’ll come alive
What was dead inside
Can’t confine, control, and conquer me again
Can’t inflate the fear forcing me to descend
This time
I’m gonna ward off the ghosts of life
This time
I’m setting the heart to right
This time
This time
I want something new
A fundamental element that
bubbles to a brew
That washes all the remnants of the
sickness that I knew
That maps a path that guides me to a
sky of higher blue
I’ve broken the cocoon from the inside
All the ways in which I’ve come alive
All the ways in which I’ve come alive
