Are We Alive

I hear the sirens, see the flashing lights
Every step I take, death is by my side
Watch us wither, burn at both ends
Bury your hopes, and hold your breath
Are we alive
Is death by my side
Work your fingers to the bone
Die with nothing, die alone
You point the gun at me, I point it at you
Born to expire, nothing we can do
Are we alive
Is death by my side
Are we alive
Is there anything left — anything left
Anything left inside
Are we alive
Is there anything left inside
Addiction, disease
The threat of war it spreads
This world’s a nightmare
I’m left for dead
