Welcome to the American dream

Your nightmare realized

Things ain't always quite what they seem

Your worst fears come to life

My eyes are bleeding again

Have been and will since I don't know when

The pain tells me I'm alive

I'm in control and I will survive

The pain tells me I'm alive

I am alive

Welcome to the new devil's church

City streets and alleyways

Seems to me he's found a new perch

In the place where your child plays

My hands are bleeding again

Have been and will since I don't know when

The pain tells me I'm alive

I'm in control and I will survive

The pain tells me I'm alive

I am alive

Trapped within these four walls

Locked inside your mind

Turning reason into treason

Confronted and confined

Your candle slowly fading

Turning light and life to dust

For memory and things to be are false

Without true trust

Your needle isn't sharp enough

To puncture through my vein

Your false Gods aren't real enough

To even scratch my soul

You think you're clutching diamonds

When all you really have is coal

My feet are bleeding again

Have been an will since I don't know when

The pain tells me I'm alive

I'm in control and I will survive

The pain tells me I'm alive

I am alive
