[Intro — Distant Whisper] Dead or alive... Where are you hiding? I can hear you... Inside... A little voice beneath the floor, Calling me back through every door. The moon is pale, the night won't end, I see your shadow round the bend. [Verse 1] I keep your name inside my head, A little dream that won't stay dead. Every room remembers you, Every nightmare pulls me through. I close my eyes, you're standing there, A beautiful ghost inside the air. I know I should forget your face, But darkness leads me to your trace. [Pre-Chorus] Are you alive? Are you somewhere in the night? Are you lost inside my mind? Or have you always been mine? [Chorus] Dead or alive, I'll find you, Through every dream I wander through. Dead or alive, I hear your call, Your voice is hiding in the walls. I don't know where the truth begins, I don't know where the nightmare ends. Dead or alive, don't disappear, The closer you run, the more you're near. [Verse 2] The little music box still plays, The same forgotten childhood phrase. I follow footsteps down the hall, But no one answers when I call. Your photograph is facing me, Like something trapped inside a dream. I touch the glass, I feel your eyes, A silent world behind disguise. [Pre-Chorus] Are you alive? Or only breathing in my thoughts? Are you hiding from the light? Or am I the one who's lost? [Chorus] Dead or alive, I'll find you, Through every dream I wander through. Dead or alive, I hear your call, Your voice is hiding in the walls. I don't know where the truth begins, I don't know where the nightmare ends. Dead or alive, don't disappear, The closer you run, the more you're near. [Bridge — Dark Whisper] They called you cursed... They told me to forget... But every time I close my eyes, I see you standing there again. Maybe the curse was never you... Maybe it lives inside of me. Maybe I loved the nightmare first, Before the nightmare noticed me. [Breakdown] Stay... Don't fade... I know you're somewhere... Inside my head... Dead... Or alive... [Final Chorus — Cinematic] Dead or alive, I'll find you, Even where the shadows hide you. Dead or alive, I'll call your name, Until the night forgets the day. If you're a dream, then let me dream, If you're a curse, then stay with me. I don't need to know what's real, I only need to know I feel... [Outro — Broken Music Box] Dead or alive... I still hear you... Dead or alive... You're still inside... [Whisper] The curse never left... It only learned my name.
