I'm Alive

Sasha · Open Water

When I wake up and the sun won't shine

and I see the bedlam all around me

I turn over and go back to sleep again



If I could skip or erase this day

but it's much to young to feel sorry

so I'm trying to get on my feet again



now and then I start talking to myself

cause I'm ashamed to tell anybody else

do I really need to ask for someone's help

to find out

that I'm alive

and I can't get myself outta here

I'm alive

I'm alive



Man in the mirror why you're staring at me

you have to see the same face tomorrow

do me a favour and get out of my way for today -

just today



It's not the answer but the question that makes life



a little bearable like dating your ex-wife

do i really need to back out and to hide

I decide



that I'm alive

and I can't get myself outta here

I'm alive

and I do what I have to pull me through my live

I'm alive



I tell you one thing, I do need something

I pool of good luck charmes to bathe in



I tell you one thing, I do need something

I pool of good luck charmes to bathe in

and hope I'm gettin out alive



When I wake up and the sun won't shine

and I see the bedlam around me

I turn over and get back to sleep again

and again and again
