“Help I’m Alive”

I trem­ble; they’re gonna eat me alive
If I stum­ble, they’re gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beat­ing like a ham­mer?
Beat­ing like a hammer?

Help, I’m alive, my heart keeps beat­ing like a ham­mer
Hard to be soft; tough to be ten­der
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a run­away train

Help, I’m alive, my heart keeps
Beat­ing like a hammer…

If you’re still alive, my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn’t I do?
I get wher­ever I’m going, I get what­ever I need
While my blood’s still flow­ing and my heart’s still
Beat­ing like a hammer…

If you’re still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn’t I do?
I get wher­ever I’m going, I get what­ever I need

While my blood’s still flow­ing and my heart’s still
Beat­ing like a hammer…

“Fader”

I’m in tran­sit
Float­ing stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself alle­giance
To a bet­ter night sleep at home

And the sweet, sweet sun’s comin’ down
Hard, the sun’s comin’ down
Hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

Talk don’t change a thing
Oh, it’s fad­ing fader
(I’m in tran­sit)
Words don’t sink, it swims
(Ah, sweet as a moment, be that it may)
Oh, it’s fad­ing fader

Bless this mess, we tried our best
That’s all that we can do
While the angels walk with the lonely ones
In the cold rain to res­cue you

And this fable world’s comin’ down
Hard, walls comin’ down
Hard, in all our homes
So hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm
