about

this song was actually written lyrically and instrumentally (separately) 2 years before me and Eric (guitar) met. so 2 years and one rainy back porch smoke sesh later... we give you this piece of honesty.

lyrics

im alive
oh fuck im alive
and im finding that im much better off without you
isnt it strange how life works out
i found myself awake for the first time in years
and I did it all without your help

so go ahead tell me im wrong
go ahead tell me im the one who changed
'cause ill have to agreee
i'm better now than i was when you knew me

my high horse led me to water
( gonna watch you drink it up, help you drink it up, let us clear the stream dry)
i drank the stream dry
(going back and forth, hunger thirst and pain, i bet your never gonna see me die)
at least i'm out here living instead of being too scared to try
you're right i'm the life of the party
and you're and you're you're
just away at camp
maybe someday you'll forgive me
for just being who i am

so here i am now
fucking nothing to hide
go bottle up your emotions
til you rot out your insides

i am who i am who i've been since day one
take it or leave it we both known i'm the best you've ever known

i am who i am cause i learned to grow and change
isnt it still nice feeling holier than the one who really built your name
