Verse

I am what you want me to be

 And I'm your worst fear, you'll find it in me

 Come closer

 Come closer

I am more than memory

 I am what might be, I am mystery

 You know me

 So show me

Bridge

 When I appear

 It's not so clear if

I'm a simple spirit or I'm flesh and blood

Chorus

 But I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive

 And I feed on the fear that's behind your eyes

 And I need you to need me, it's no surprise

 I'm alive

 so alive

 I'm alive.

Verse

I am flame and I am fire

I am destruction, decay, and desire

I'll hurt you

I'll heal you

I'm your wish, your dream come true

And I am your darkest nightmare too

I've shown you

I own you

Bridge

And though you made me, you can't change me

I'm the perfect stranger who knows you too well

Chorus

But I'm alive, I'm alive I am so alive

And I'll tell you the truth if you let me try.

You're alive, I'm alive, and I'll show you why

I'm alive, so alive

Subverse:

 I'm alive

 I'm right behind you.

You say forget but I'll remind you.

 You can try to hide but you know that I will find you.

 'Cause if you won't grieve me, you won't leave me behind.

 Oh, how, oh

Woah

Woah

No, no, no

Chorus

I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive.

If you climb on my back then we both can fly

If you try to deny me, I'll never die

I'm alive, so alive

 I'm alive

Yeah yeah

 I'm alive

I'm alive

I'm alive

I'm alive
