Paul William Turner A Little More Alive
Two steps back
One glance forward
One place mat on an empty table
Party all night to come home alone
And it's easy to be the one
When the phone rings you let it go
One more tear on a pillow, cold
And you wake, another day
Can't be the one
Better off in a world your own
Lost in wonderland; never be alone
And all the grins and all the smiles
And the people say survive
All the while you wish you felt
A little more alive
Richard Cory did it best
Walked his path distraught and a mess
Keeping it all locked inside
No one saw the lie
It's easy to be something you're not
In a world consumed by shock
We all know demons exist
Even though we tend to forget
To see the markings on her wrist
His silence and little things we miss
Better off in a world your own
Lost in wonderland; never be alone
And all the grins and all the smiles
And the people say survive
All the while you wish you felt
A little more alive
A little more alive
