L.A. Guns - I Am Alive lyrics

Welcome to the American dream Your nightmare realized Things ain't always quite what they seem Your worst fears come to life My eyes are bleeding again Have been and will since I don't know when The pain tells me I'm alive I'm in control and I will survive The pain tells me I'm alive I am alive Welcome to the new devil's church City streets and alleyways Seems to me he's found a new perch In the place where your child plays My hands are bleeding again Have been and will since I don't know when The pain tells me I'm alive I'm in control and I will survive The pain tells me I'm alive I am alive Trapped within these four walls Locked inside your mind Turning reason into treason Confronted and confined Your candle slowly fading Turning light and life to dust For memory and things to be are false Without true trust Your needle isn't sharp enough To puncture through my vein Your false Gods aren't real enough To even scratch my soul You think you're clutching diamonds When all you really have is coal My feet are bleeding again Have been an will since I don't know when The pain tells me I'm alive I'm in control and I will survive The pain tells me I'm alive I am alive
