lyrics

I remember for the first time
Being locked inside that dark room
Collapsing under weight of self-inflicted shame
Then everything went black
And when I woke I found myself in shock that I had kept myself intact

There's a science that holds me together
Synapses formed to stop my melting mind
Ties to my old self I have severed
So 'scuse me while I kiss that life goodbye
'Cause I am alive
And I am aligned

I'm walking back on steady ground
I've bandaged up those broken bones
I've come back home
I'm coming back around
Now I've truly started over
I made a change in chemistry
In saving me
I've learned from my own history

There's a science that held me together
In spite of my own goddamned troubled mind
Ties to my old self I have severed
So 'scuse me while I kiss that life goodbye
'Cause I am alive
And I am aligned

I might still look the same
Despite the changes in my brain
I'm holding fast in a world gone insane
I've been pushed to the edge
That's where chapter one ends
Now I'm back and I've brought all my friends
It's an accident I found my purpose
I keep myself about my person, yeah
I am alive
And I am aligned

I am alive
