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!
