[Verse 1]
The voltage in my blood and in my skin
Crackles and erodes clouded reticence
The pressure in my skull makes it hard to think
But I won't let tonight become where I've been

[Chorus]
If I could keep my memories
Away from the dread and anxiety
(Who would I be?)
I want to live, I want to feel
I'm tired of feeling unreal
(I'm more than this)
I want to stay, but I'm afraid
I don't want the safety to go away
(But anyway)

I am alive
I'm here tonight

[Verse 2]
The movement in my chest, I can't explain
A frequency like death without any pain
My skin is held intact by the lightest wind
Is this what it's like to be alive again?
[Bridge]
"[?]"
"Let's find out what that [?] is all about"
"[?]"
"Where is it coming from?"

[Chorus]
If I could stay a certain way, if I could feel every day
(I'd fall apart)
If I could have a different life, could I look myself in the eye?
(Would I know why?)
I want to stay, but I'm afraid
I don't want the safety to go away
(But anyway)

I close my eyes
And dream of light

[Outro]
"Whatever... I think that's everything... Okay, let's see if any of that was worth keeping."
