Are you Still Alive?
by Nathalie Markoch
Are you still alive?
Don't you wanna know if
I also made it through the night
Won't you still be waiting
Until I promise I won't cry
Oh, are you still alive?
Is this true or a dream?
Am I also watching you
The way you're watching me?
Hold you in my arms
Or am I holding only these
These empty, hollow
broken shaded ribs
No, I can't reach you out there
No, I must be living somewhere else
Before... before...
Before I met you
Are you still alive?
Should I stand and fight
Or should I give you all my life?
Hope to find a reason
That keeps me safe from time
Oh, are you still alive?
Will this lead to an end?
Will this have a meaning?
Will you finally understand?
There´s nowhere to run to
without your stretching holding hand
Your frozen, absent, callused hand
No, I can't reach you out there
No, I must be living somewhere else
Before... before..
Before I met you
You're out of touch
You're out of sight
I'm out of my mind!
Your face fades out
You're mine, I know
But I can't figure it out..
If you do love..
So why are you not..
Why are you not..
Alive
No, I can't reach you out there
No, I must be living somewhere else
Before... before..
Before I met you
You are out of sight
Are you still alive?
Am I still alive?
