[Verse 1]

Blown out gauge, I may have pushed things too far

With hands left unclean, this broken machine has left me far from home

Is every breath I take just a minute too late?

The thoughts inside me overloading, is life really this hard?

The fact I’m not dead, hanging on by a thread

Is a testament to the strength left inside me

[Chorus]

Now I am alive, kicking and screaming

I know I’ll suffer for the rest of my life

Who knew you'd be a hand in the ties that bind?

A life you made so fucking complicated

A beaten path and now you question me why

My salvation is what you deny

[Verse 2]

Cold embrace, this time you've pushed me too far

Your smile deceives as you lie through your teeth and left my heart for broke

Now I erase your name from a life you claim

A temporary path you've chosen

Is life really this hard?

How long has it been?

Was the ride worth the sin?

You can lay on your cross as I drive the spikes in

[Chorus]

Now I am alive, kicking and screaming

I know I’ll suffer for the rest of my life

Who knew you'd be a hand in the ties that bind?

A life you made so fucking complicated

A beaten path and now you question me why

My salvation is what you deny

[Verse 3]

Bleed for me, all the times that I hit the ground running

Would I do it all again?

Be afraid, you look so calm when you see me coming

Don't you remember who I am?

I’m burning inside, save my soul for the rest of my life

You couldn't take this from me

You couldn't take this from me alive

Burning inside, save my soul for the rest of my life

[Outro]

My salvation, is life really this hard?

My salvation, is life really this hard?
