Aliens (song)

Okay, before you read, know that this is inspired by Underoath's lyrical style, and I somewhat wrote it to be performed the way they do (back and forth between scream and song, repeating important pieces). Just FYI. let me know if you prefer (IF you prefer anything, haha) this style over rhyme stuff. I find this to be more raw, emotion-based and less "froopy". Essentially, better for hardcore stuff, as opposed to, say, Anberlin-y lyrics. haha =)





Oh God, it’s screaming again
It won’t stop beating
The cage of bone and shattered dreams

I’m shaking
Falling prostrate on the floor
Please tell me a lie
That’s what it must be
Please tell me a lie
Just set it free

I feel it burning
Razors dipped in shame
Leave scars that feel
Nothing

It doesn’t really matter
How I feel
But it lets me know
That I’m really alive

Hurry! Hurry!
It’s bursting through my chest
Longing
Desperately to know love
