I feel the pouring rain
Wash away all the glory days
And the things that we never say
Will hold us down, and bury us

No, we take it all
We push it down to fill the void
(But that’s not good enough)

We said, you come around here
You’re going off the deep end
We think you’d rather be alive than dead
(Rather be alive than dead)
We say, you come around here
You’re coming back in pieces
We think you’d rather be alive than dead

Forget all those plans we make
The constant weight of our misery
We’re so blind, and half past dead
Please find yourself, and let go of this

No, we take it all
We push it down to fill the void
(But that’s not good enough)

We said, you come around here
You’re going off the deep end
We think you’d rather be alive than dead
(Rather be alive than dead)
We say, you come around here
You’re coming back in pieces
We think you’d rather be alive than dead
Rather be alive than dead

Curse the weak, curse the eager ones who go along
Blame the sheep, blame cowards and the cynicals
Am I the only one who sees light coming through?
I do (I do)

We said, you come around here
You’re going off the deep end
We think you’d rather be alive than dead
(Rather be alive than dead)
We say, you come around here
You’re coming back in pieces
We think you’d rather be alive than dead
Rather be alive than dead
Alive than dead
Rather be alive than dead
Alive than dead
I'd rather be alive than dead
