Living or Dying

Cinderella slips into a dream like a curse
You could mistake it for Heaven, at first
I come through, like I do, with a bottle of blues
Tell me about it, show me where it hurts

Flying through the colors of the tangerine clouds
Your heart is sinking its way to the ground
Black and blue, déjà vu, what can I say to you?
Just let me hear it, I won't make a sound

I feel like I'm lying, I'm cheating myself
I'm tired of trying to please everyone else
I feel like I do because it's true
Nobody knows me like you
Am I living or dying?

Landing on an island with a vibrant view
I feel the ocean and wish it were you
Should I stay, should I go, am I losing control?
Go through the motions, when out of the blue

I'm wondering why I'm feeling so high
I'm feeling like I could never want to come down
It's a beautiful ride, but it's time to say bye
You could mistake it for Heaven, at first

I feel like I'm lying, I'm cheating myself
I'm tired of trying to please everyone else
I feel like I do because it's true
Nobody knows me like you
Am I living or dying?
Am I living or dying?

I'm flying, but I'm dying to come down
I can't turn this feeling around
Like lightning, I won't make a sound
Convince myself that I'm wrong
Misplace my faith in a song
Make it all go away until I wake

Cinderella slips into a dream like a curse
You could mistake it for Heaven, at first

I feel like I'm lying, I'm cheating myself
I'm tired of trying to please everyone else
I feel like I do because it's true
Nobody knows me like you (nobody knows)
Am I living or dying?
Am I living or dying?
