Strum

D-DU-UDU

I am what you want me to be

And I'm your worst fear, you'll find it in me

Come closer

I am more than memory

I am what might be, I am mystery

You know me

So show me

When I appear

It's not so clear if

I'm a simple spirit or I'm flesh and blood

But I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive

And I feed on the fear that's behind your eyes

And I need you to need me, it's no surprise

I'm alive

so alive

I'm alive.

I am flame and I am fire

I am destruction, decay, and desire

I'll hurt you

I'll heal you

I'm your wish, your dream come true

And I am your darkest nightmare too

I've shown you

I own you

And though you made me, you can't change me

I'm the perfect stranger who knows you too well

But I'm alive, I'm alive I am so alive

And I'll tell you the truth if you let me try.

You're alive, I'm alive, and I'll show you why

I'm alive, so alive

Subverse:

I'm alive

I'm right behind you.

You say forget but I'll remind you.

You can try to hide but you know that I will find you.

'Cause if you won't grieve me, you won't leave me behind.

Oh, how, oh

Woah

No, no, no

I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive.

If you climb on my back then we both can fly

If you try to deny me, I'll never die

I'm alive, so alive

I'm alive

Yeah yeah

I'm alive
