I'm alive
Watch yourself I'm taking over
The cracks in the pavement don't break my stride
I step lightly
I'm alive
I can't believe what I've become
I won't stop breathing
Your world is falling at your feet
I won't stop breathing
Oh my god
I can't believe what I've become
I won't stop breathing
Your world is falling at your feet
I won't stop breathing
Just 'cause you're breathing
Don't mean you're alive
Excuses are useless when your mouth's stapled shut
You're drowning in the back room
So this is what it feels to waltz?
I must be dreaming
Demise so surreal

    Okay when I first heard of Asking Alexandria, I thought; "What a stupid name. It must be some kinda emo gay band."

    But fuck this song is bad ass and so is the band!

    My Opinion

    Yes it is all about the movie Mr. Brooks (great movie) It follows the plot perfectly I love the ending especially "OH the bullets gone...." to the "But its the scissors down my throat, down my fucking THROAT"

    awesome song. the ending gives me chills.

    anywho, it should definately be "I take the spade, I slit your throat." as Mr. Brooks cuts someones throat with a shovel.

    if you've seen the movie you should understand this song completely. it's a great movie too.
