Lyrics

Half Alive

When you build and remake me
Can you bend but not break me
Just enough so I come back for more?
Control and curate me
Won't you dominate me?
Can't help, but feel like I've been here before

'Cause I need you
I need you

To feel even half alive
I need you to sleep at night
I need you to fill my time
I'm wasted, sedated
A trigger to not feel numb
Persuade me, there's nothing wrong
Convince me to carry on

In stasis, sedated
And half alive
And half alive
And half alive
Half alive

When you build and remake me
Please don't bend, please don't break me
'Cause you know that I'll just come back for more

I need you
I need you

To feel even half alive
I need you to sleep at night
I need you to fill my time
I'm wasted, sedated
A trigger to not feel numb
Persuade me, there's nothing wrong
Convince me to carry on

In stasis, sedated
And half alive
And half alive
And half alive
Half alive

I'm sure that you can help
Not the worst that I have felt
But it feels like I'm falling
Now our dance turns to crawling
A routine that I can't miss
Pulling me from the darkness
You tell me I want this
But I know I need this

I need you
To feel even half alive
I need you to sleep at night
I need you to fill my time
I'm wasted, sedated
A trigger to not feel numb
Persuade me, there's nothing wrong
Convince me to carry on

In stasis, sedated
And half alive
And half alive
And half alive
And half alive
