The air is thick in here I sit while people try to decide Which feelings to show But they cannot grow When it's safer kept inside Show the people we know breaking up underneath the weight Now I know that you can't truly love someone you have grown to hate Fall back on guarded sentiments from a distant happy time Experiences watered down When the past still runs your life Your only living half the time Half dead or half alive When I see your faith in me And how heavy your leanin' on this skinny boy Over employed, tryin' to help you do your job I wanna find the empty pieces of your heart And fill them up with life But it's so hard to hold to bigger dreams Nightmares cloud my sight Another day gets wasted as we sit in our own shit Nobody calls I stare at the walls And sleep alone again You're only livin' half the time Half dead or half alive Another day gets wasted as we sit in our own shit Nobody calls I stare at the walls And sleep alone again You're only livin' half the time Half dead or half alive
