Are We Alive?

Are we alive
Is death by my side
I hear the sirens, see the flashing lights
Every step I take, death is by my side
Watch us wither, burnt at both ends
Bury your hopes, and hold your breath

Are we alive
Is death by my side

Work your fingers to the bone
Die with nothing, die alone
You point the gun at me
I point it at you
Born to expire
And there's nothing we can do

Are we alive
Is death by my side

Are we alive
Is there anything left - anything left
Anything left inside

Addiction, disease
The fear of war it spreads
This world's a nightmare
I'm left for dead
