Lyrics

Keeps Me Alive

[Verse 1]

Finding it hard to differentiate

Are my proclivities of society or innate?

Well, the source is irrelevant when it comes to truth

And the truth is I want the same thing that you do

Childlike curiosity about my fate

Is the only thing that makes me stay

[Chorus]

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

It keeps me breathin' right

[Verse 2]

And yet the holy grail beckons

"Hey, your chalice could still be filled some day by someone"

Childlike curiosity about my fate

Is the only thing that makes me stay

Though I've never been a sucker for codependency

I'm taken by the possibility

[Chorus]

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

Oh, it keeps me breathin' right
