Alive or Dead Songtext

von Middle Class Rut

"Drowning through this empty time"
Cathy used to say
"We're living in an empty time"
Cathy used to say

Well, Cathy ain't no friend of mine
So I gotta push ahead
We'll have to use this empty time
To come and see what's dead

So give me love
Alive or dead
I don't care

I'm at the end of my rope
I've got no where left to run

And I can hear us sayin'
Things that are better left unsaid
And I could see us teachin'
From books I've never even read

They're coming for you
And they'll knock on your door
They've got you surrounded
They'll make you conform
They'll steal all your thoughts
And pass them off as their own

But I just want love
Alive or dead
I don't care

I'm at the end of my rope
I've got no where left to run

Oh, shit
Oh, shit

Yeah

Am I faithless?
Am I hopeless?
Do I feel less
Than anyone?

Am I faithless?
Am I hopeless?
Do I feel less
Than anyone?

And if I gave you my hand
Would you help me get back up today?

Drowning through this empty time
Devil used his hands
We're living in an empty time
Devil used incense

So when they come for you
Don't tell them you met me
Don't tell them anything

Just give me love (GIVE ME LOVE)
ALIVE OR DEAD (ALIVE OR DEAD)
I DON'T CARE (I DON'T CARE)

I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE
I GOT NO WHERE LEFT TO RUN
(DON'T GO YET)
RUN
