intoxication, running through this veins   he feels cold, is he insane?   deep in his brain the knows it all   but can't explain      running on empty, almost out of bread   giving all that he's got, taking all he can get   feels the end is near as the foreign dreamlands disappear      now he's back again, blind with open eyes   still alive, still alive   leaving once again, can he still deny   he's still alive, still alive      wish you could see him as he slowly dies   to the shame and pain   we close our eyes and pass by   but the end is near   and we know it's his world that we fear      now he's back again, blind with open eyes   still alive, still alive   leaving once again, can he still deny   he's still alive, still alive      see how we got through the stages   soon we'll be turning the pages   still alive, still alive   need is a hurting desire   life is a walk through the fire   still alive, still alive      intoxication, running through his veins
