Dead Or Alive, On The Inside Poem by Joseph Skytta

Verse

I'm dead, I'm alive, and nothing will condemn me,
This pain, this is pride, a message I am sending,
I stay, will I leave, a choice that I'm pretending,
Not mine, but in time, its one that you'll make for me.
PreChorus

But still I sit here waiting, to feel something, that I've longed for.
Chorus

Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I don't pretend
Slowly dieing, never living, always comprehend,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I may surmise,
Quickly lieing, always hiding, running from the light,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I can't
Ignore,
Silent retching, soul ascending, sickened to my core,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I can't be right,
Am I dieing, am I living, please answer me tonight.
Verse

No trust, I can't love, this rage is never ending,
This place, I don't know, my memory is fading,
There is, no more joy, cuz its tearing out from in me,
My pain, is replaced, by something worse I'm fearing.
Chorus

Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I don't pretend
Slowly dieing, never living, always comprehend,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I may surmise,
Quickly lieing, always hiding, running from the light,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I can't
Ignore,
Silent retching, soul ascending, sickened to my core,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I can't be right,
Am I dieing, am I living, please answer me tonight.
Verse

I try, and I rise, ignoring what you tell me,
I smile, been a while, this feeling I need to see,
I serve, now I lurk, the shadows are not healing,
This work, and this hurt, the suffering that I need.
Chorus

Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I don't pretend
Slowly dieing, never living, always comprehend,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I may surmise,
Quickly lieing, always hiding, running from the light,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I can't
Ignore,
Silent retching, soul ascending, sickened to my core,
Oh no aye, oh no aye, oh no I can't be right,
Am I dieing, am I living, please answer me tonight.
