Coming Alive

This writing is savagery, the brutal parts of me
Unspooling before me, drawing blood, you draw a smile
And I draw an effigy, she's staring back at me
The simple lost parts of my heart that are moving and shaking
Holding and breaking, my will when it's waving and taking a stand
The best way I can, the best way I can, the best way I can

Do you want me to hold your hand while I say this?
Time is falling and I'm not ageless
I feel the crimes unbind the pages
Break the spine and embrace the raging
Is it sound of my mind and spirit
But so unkind that when I hear it
I don't believe it, I don't believe it
Despite the odds, it really seems it

I'm coming alive, despite your best attempts at mutiny
Despite your best attempts at breaking me apart
I'm fated to depart, and we'll come back to heart

Well, can you taste it? A bitterness on my tongue
Sharp like acid and sweet like rum
Can you imagine the things I've done
While I exaggerate, what you've become?
I centre myself within the storm
So I can rage as the weather warns
Upon my hands, upon my hands, upon my hands

I simply do not understand, do you want honesty?
I don't know who I am or who I want to be
I've no idea who's walking beside me
As the bell tolls and drum rolls
And I cry out heavily, "Is it enough to be?"
I've built a life, but now it's crumbling
And joy is mortality, joy is mortality
It's here an instant, and then it's gone instantly

I'm coming alive, despite your best attempts at mutiny
Despite your best attempts at breaking me apart
I'm fated to depart, and we'll come back to heart

'Cause I'm coming alive, despite your best attempts at mutiny
Despite your best attempts at breaking me apart
I'm fated to depart, and we'll come back to heart
We'll come back to heart!
