Still Alive

[Verse 1] Thirty days had teeth, they took a piece of me Left a stack of bills and a body running low on gasoline Counted every hour like a debt I couldn't pay But the calendar tore off its final page today [Pre-Chorus] Amp still hums where I left it in the dark Same guitar, same scar, same stubborn spark [Chorus] And I'm still alive — hear the crowd start to roar Every crack in my voice is a door I walked through before Beat me down to the boards, but I clawed back the light Say it loud with the last of my breath — I'm still alive [Verse 2] Rent got paid in sweat and swallowed pride Wore the month like a jacket that don't fit but keeps me dry The mirror showed a man I barely knew Now the stage lights hit and the color's coming through [Pre-Chorus] Feet on the floor, I can feel it in my chest The wreck of what I was is what I love the best [Chorus] And I'm still alive — hear the crowd start to roar Every crack in my voice is a door I walked through before Beat me down to the boards, but I clawed back the light Say it loud with the last of my breath — I'm still alive [Bridge] [soft] They thought the silence swallowed me whole Just a name they'd forget when the season got cold [build-up] But grief taught my hands to hold the strings again And what didn't kill me learned to sing [belted] So sing — [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And I'm still alive — let the whole room roar I'm not the man from the wreckage, I'm something worth fighting for Break me down to the ground, watch me stand into the light God, it's good just to breathe — I'm still alive [Outro] [whispered] Made it through the dark [loud] And I'm still alive
