Half Alive

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters] I always heard rumors about "behind the scenes" I found out that they're true, though vicious and obscene I'm giving out false handshakes until my wrists break Each interaction lacks any bit of passion, what a shame I've been deceived by the ones that I held in such high acclaim "It is what it is," I'm told, "it's part for the course to fit their mold" "Blend in, blend in to the mess, it's better to fit in" They scream, "Give in, give in Give up what's left of your innocence" [Chorus: Richard Rogers; both] Ring me out to dry Nothing left inside 'cause my passion left me half alive Have I lost the fight? Was it meant to be or should I let this die? I'm barely hanging on With every twist, this rings me out to dry Should I let this die? [Verse 2: Richard Rogers] I'm lost again, should I blame myself? What once was mine belongs to someone else It's fine, it's fine, I think I'll be alright Just ring me out to dry 'til there's nothing inside [Refrain: Richard Rogers; both] I've lost all that I have left to lose to you My passion's now past-tense, but I just can't move past it [Chorus: Richard Rogers; both] Ring me out to dry Nothing left inside 'cause my passion left me half alive Have I lost the fight? Was it meant to be or should I let this die? I'm barely hanging on With every twist, this rings me out to dry Should I let this die? [Bridge: Richard Rogers] Took it in my own hands, made this a mission Warned before, but didn't listen A weak attempt, a failed transmission Should it die or should I finish? Took it in my own hands, made this a mission Warned before, but didn't listen A weak attempt, a failed transmission Should it die or should I finish? [Chorus: Richard Rogers; both] Ring me out to dry Nothing left inside 'cause my passion left me half alive Have I lost the fight? Was it meant to be or should I let this die? I'm barely hanging on With every twist, this rings me out to dry Should I let this die? With every twist, this rings me out to dry Should I let this die?
