Alive but not living Housed but soon homeless Comfortable sitting high on top eating good food and seeing the sights Forgetting that life is not endless Day-to-day choices made without thought Made so quickly, made so reckless Now I'm counting every cost... Avalanche of all things I know Fall and crash to the pits below Makes every day a battle a sore and painful climb Still push on to remain in the fight Trying to overcome obstacles Regain the high heights that once allowed me to feel free A feeling so calm I could take flight Now the ground beneath me shakes Everything I built around me feels like it's about to break Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' I'm alive but not living still breathing but barely holding on one foot in the darkness Trying to see the dawn Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Don't see it happening but it's now or never Can't seem to focus Can't hold myself together Just feel empty so tired worn thin Trying to find the strength to begin again Every road looks longer Every hill looks steep Some nights I chase my future Some nights I just can't sleep But I refuse surrender Refuse to disappear I've come too far to quit now even with my worst fears near Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' The avalanche may bury me But it won't be where I stay I've crawled through hell before and found another way The climb may take everything The weight may bend my spine But no STORM lasts forever and this life is still mine Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Alive but not living But I'm not finished yet Still carrying scars Still carrying regret Breathless and Hopeless Some days that's how it feels But a MAN is measured most By how HE learns to HEAL .... Alive but not living Still standing through the fight and I'll keep climbing upward Until I find the light Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Breathless and Hopeless Yet somehow I survive Every STORM keeps asking 'How bad do you want this life?' Just feel empty So tired Breathless and Hopeless But still here.
