A Thousand Lives

A new year inside the glass, another pause for the sand to pass. We sit alone in our soft hearts and wait to sate the hands of fate.
Another breath of another day, another glance, just look my way. We've come so very far not to spend our lives in each others' arms.
Sweet ballads and sour dreams, wake up first just to watch you sleep.
I've lived a thousands deaths about a thousand lives ago. But now I breathe next to you and it saves my heart to know...

...I am alive
Finally alive inside. A fire set for the blaze. A riot without a cage. Pushing down the lies of a thousand broken lives, too many failing tries.
But there's a killer in your eyes, where all the mistakes of my life go to die.

She's a beautiful breath to take, another plague on the fake. She is my brand new looking glass with bones of steel and a magic laugh.
Another soul to suffocate all the worries I've come to hate. We've got it all in spades, together now and nothing but the sky awaits.
Silent nights and thunder days, I'd give it all to make you stay.
This is all that matters now, not the why and not the how, but who, who I've come to be. When you're standing next to me... 

...I am alive.
It only took a thousand lives to find you. A thousand lies. A thousands ways to die inside. But I'd do it all again just to keep you by my side.
I am finally alive.
