lyrics

Another empty evening
Another body in the room
I’m going through the motions
And you don’t dare to make a move
You’re just staring blankly
And I’m just opening my mouth
Hoping that somebody
Can hear the sound that’s coming out

Look alive
I’ve given everything I’ve got
To these mannequin eyes
Look alive
Or we are both wasting our time
Look alive

You’re waiting for an escape
And I’m just waiting for a sign
You don’t know why you are here
And sometimes neither do I
Why don’t we just face it?
The last of us is dying out
They’re killing off the only thing that they think we can’t live without

Look alive
I’ve given everything I’ve got
To these mannequin eyes
Look alive
Or we are both wasting our time
Look alive

Don’t you take this for granted
One last remaining organic
Don’t be afraid to feel it in your blood
And let it in your bones
You won’t be alone

Look alive
I’ve given everything I’ve got
To these mannequin eyes
Look alive
Or we are both wasting our time
Look alive
