Dead Wake - Alive & Breathing Lyrics

Tethered machine, telegraphing thoughts and memories
Of places I've been and people I've seen
But they don't see me
This town is a frozen star
Encircled by hungry ghosts with their cigarette kisses
Converging hearts painted by lamp lights
But nobody knows who they are

And this feels so right
In the wake of illusion
That we'll be alright
Alive and breathing tonight

Tethered machine, neutralizing thoughts and memories
Of places I've been and people I've seen
But they don't see me
This town is a frozen star
Encircled by hungry ghosts with their cigarette kisses
And broken hearts shattered by lamp lights
And nobody knows who they are

Reach out, starshine
Grasp the wilting orchid of my soul
And breathe new life
In time, in mind
Find me waiting near the place we called our home

And this feels so right
In the wake of illusion
That we'll be alright
Alive and breathing tonight
