[Verse 1]
I get so determined
To follow all those sermons
That I've been preached to my whole life

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I waver from my straight lines
And the canvas begins to unwind
When I wake up the devil inside
And forget what's wrong and what's right

[Chorus]
I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive

[Verse 2]
I get so determined
To teach you all those sermons
That I've been preaching my whole life
And you get so defensive
And try to show me what's behind
The fences of my backyard

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I waver from my straight lines
And the canvas begins to unwind
When I wake up the devil inside
And forget what's righteous for the night
I feel alive
[Bridge]
I get stuck in yesterday
Watching many things just slip away
When I look inside of my black heart
All I see is a beautiful mistake
And when the sun lights up another day
I can't have all the pain
All I know is I'm living here tonight

[Chorus]
And I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive
Oh, I feel alive
Oh
