    "Help I'm Alive" Lyrics :::
    [Verse 1]
    I tremble
    They're gonna eat me alive
    If I stumble
    They're gonna eat me alive
    [Hook]
    Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
    Beating like a hammer?
    [Chorus]
    Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Hard to be soft
    Tough to be tender
    Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
    Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    [Verse 2]
    If we're still alive
    My regrets are few
    If my life is mine
    What shouldn't I do?
    I get wherever I'm going
    I get whatever I need
    While my blood's still flowing
    And my heart still beats
    [Hook]
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    [Chorus]
    Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Hard to be soft
    Tough to be tender
    Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
    Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    [Verse 2]
    If we're still alive
    My regrets are few
    If my life is mine
    What shouldn't I do?
    I get wherever I'm going
    I get whatever I need
    While my blood's still flowing
    And my heart still beats
    [Hook]
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer (Beating like a hammer)
    Beating like a hammer (Beating like a hammer)
    Beating like a hammer (Beating like a hammer)
    [Verse 1]
    I tremble
    They're gonna eat me alive
    If I stumble
    They're gonna eat me alive
    [Hook]
    Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
    Beating like a hammer?
    Beating like a hammer
    Beating like a hammer
    [Outro]
    Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

      Has been my favorite since their End Sessions recording with 107.7. If you like acoustic alternatives look up 107.7 End Sessions. Lots of great bands and amazing songs.

    "come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train" and the faint guitar strumming in the back sounds just like a train intersection to me. perfect

    @turtl3soup 13 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    So raw, her voice is incredible, and here you can really hear it at its core. I love the piano she is playing on also.

  • @Topazera
    @Topazera 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    This is one song where I LOVE both the original and the acoustic version, I really couldn't pick which is better. But this song pops into my head, it's usually the moment @4:10 that jumps out to me. The simplicity there is SO good.

    Everytime I listen to this song I cant help but cry. A vocal reminder of the young man whom passed away and heart is now beating like a hammer in my chest. Such a selfless beautiful gift he has given me. So I shed tear of sorrow and joy to live life for the both of us.

      @mannurse06 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cool name, hey sorry bout your father, lost mine swiftly to cancer when i was 13, knew a friend whose dads passed similar to yours while driving no less. Just lost a childhood friend who was only 40, same fate. Add another Army buddy who died under 40 from "self medicating"
      It is important to cherish those close to you, i hope you have good people that know and appreciate you, take it easy and remember the lessons taught, how the fallen lived, represent them with your actions and words, be well and RIP to our fathers, yeah cancer dad was step dad, a week after he passed, my biological father shot himself in the head. Life sucks, count the wins not the losses, oh and its not a race. Thanks, sorry for the novel

  • @MrBailiffMan
    @MrBailiffMan 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thats the thing. This version of the song communicates to me as a heartfelt song about the pressures the band. The Album version, however, is totally about zombies.

  • @bacon2008

    re: the zombie apocalypse vs. The Hunger Games debate. The answer is obvious. This song should be used for both. It should be used for everything. Metric is always appropriate.

      +mikethe4th I truly envy you i have seen them live three times, the whole concert it's always a beautiful experience, but the best part for me are always those last songs they play in acoustic version, everytime it's always so raw and honest, a whole show like that must be unmatchable.
