I am what you want me to be And I'm your worst fear, you'll find it in me Come closer, come closer I am more than memory I am what might be, I am mystery You know me, so show me
When I appear, it's not so clear If I'm a simple spirit or I'm flesh and blood
I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive And I feed on the fear that's behind your eyes And I need you to need me, it's no surprise I'm alive, so alive I'm alive
I am flame and I am fire I am destruction, decay, and desire I'll hurt you, I'll heal you I'm your wish, your dream come true And I am your darkest nightmare too I've shown you, I own you
And though you made me, you can't change me I'm the perfect stranger who knows you too well
I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive And I'll tell you the truth if you let me try You're alive, I'm alive, and I'll show you why I'm alive, so live I'm alive, I'm right behind you You say forget but I remind you You can try to hide, you know that I will find you 'Cause if you won't grieve me, you won't leave me behind Oh, how-oh, woah, woah
No, no, no, I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive If you climb on my back, then we both can fly If you try to deny me, I'll never die I'm alive, so alive I'm alive, yeah yeah I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive!
