BACKROADS: Music

Alive (Demo 2007)

(BACKROADS)

Look as far as I can see
The only place I want to be
Casting shadows on the wall
Watching blindly as they fall

If I'm alone in this place
Will my memory leave a trace?
Will I find a better way?
To turn around and face the day

And the thoughts run through my head
Soon my heroes will be dead
Hold me close by your side
Help me feel alive!

And at times I feel your pain; and the burden's all the same
Holding on to what we've got, even when it's not a lot
And at times I feel strong, and it helps me carry on
Knowing how to survive, makes me feel like I'm alive

If you only ever knew
I could be the death of you
Be the shadow on your wall
Be the one to break your fall

Under kingdoms we are ruled
Make exceptions to the rule
Question all that we face
Let the leaders feel disgrace

The world's not black and white
Help me choose wrong from right
Hold me close by your side
Help me feel alive

And at times I feel your pain; and the burden's all the same
Holding on to what we've got, even when it's not a lot
And at times I feel strong, and it helps me carry on
Knowing how to survive, makes me feel like I'm alive
