[Verse 1]
This room I call my body is so small and claustrophobic
I’m scared, in here
Have you ever had a panic attack
Recommend it if you want to know what it’s like to be drowning on a city bus

[Pre-Chorus]
I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows

[Chorus]
The madness
The madness
Of being alive
Of being alive

[Verse 2]
Why's everybody starting at me
Why’s everybody waiting for the giants to come
And carry me away
Ten seconds and I know I’ll be fine
Ten seconds of thinking I might actually die
But then it subsides
[Pre-Chorus]
I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows

[Chorus]
The madness
The madness
Of being alive
Of being alive

[Bridge]
When you're a kid and the other kids hit you
So hard in the head that they blow out an ear drum
That takes away your balance so now you get car sick
Standing in one spot
And then you get older and think everyone knows
That you're cracked in the center and the breathing gets heavy
To the point where the water fills up to your eye-line
Gasping for life but it’s all in your mind
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
Just stay alive

At thirteen I started to feel it
At thirteen I started to feel
Alive
Alive
I felt the madness
I felt the madness
[Outro]
Have you ever had a panic attack
Recommend it if you wanna know what it’s like
