I'm Alive Lyrics

In the night I sit alone
Lifeless to the world I know
Faith loss long ago
In this graveyard I'm calling home
Carved into the stone
A diary of broken bones and
Words I should've known

But this grave's too deep to ever make it up
I'd do anything, anything
Just to feel like I could reach the ground
I'd do anything, anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

In the night I sit alone
The stars rain on the world below
Beg me to explode
'Cuz these dreams I keep are nowhere to be found
I'd do anything, anything just to stop
This way from pressing down
I'd do anything anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down
Deep enough so that I'll never feel again
From beneath and in chance in breaking scale
I'm giving in
All the promise of smiles and happiness
That's a dream I'm not willing to admit
I'm not ready yet
To face regret
No I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet
No...
No...
No...

I'd do anything now
So spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
Tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

Story of the Year is a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from St. Louis, Missouri originally formed in 1995.

The band consists of vocalist Dan Marsala, lead guitarist Ryan Phillips, rhythm guitarist and back up vocalist Philip Sneed, bassist Adam Russell and drummer Josh Wills. Initially named Big Blue Monkey, they changed their name to Story of the Year in 2002 because a blues group of the same name had already existed.

It would not be until eight years after forming that Story of the Year saw its first piece of commercial success in its major label debut, Page Avenue, containing the popular singles "Until the Day I Die" and "Anthem of Our Dying Day". A second album, In the Wake of Determination, followed in 2005, but did not achieve the success of its predecessor. The band has returned with their third album The Black Swan, their first on Epitaph Records, which was released on April 22, 2008.

The band toured with Linkin Park on the Meteora World Tour in 2004 along with P.O.D. and Hoobastank.

The band's fourth, The Constant, was released on February 16, 2010 through Epitaph Records.

On March 8, 2013 it was announced that the band are planning on a world tour. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
