lyrics

A Life/Alive

Balance it in, balance it out
Like a scrutinous apothecary
Don’t lose your weights, don’t lose your minds.
Find the right dose, find the right pose,
Somebody is gonna help you carry
Don’t lose your faith in your fate

I found my friends, I found my place
It was right here all the time
I did not have to dig to deep,
But with bare hands and on my knees
I found my trends, I found my taste
I’m getting older and I start to feel alive for the first…

Shuffling the cards, rolling the dice
After all it’s just a thrilling game
How are the odds, how good the gods?
Breaking the ice,
Not knowing right from wrong nor good from evil
The efforts won’t be in vain.

I found my friends, I found my place
It was right here all the time
I did not have to dig to deep,
But with bare hands and on my knees
I found my trends, I found my taste
I’m almost 30 and I start to feel alive for the first time

Balance it in, balance it out
Break your chains and break the ice
Keep your feet on track, even while skating around
Chasing childhood dreams and teenage visions.
Never lose your faith in your fate.

- Pol Belardi, 2018
