The Word Alive The Word Alive - Glass Castle

So you think you can get rid of me?
I'll your place at the head of this dynasty

I am the reason you're alive

You need to look back and see
how you treated me, how you treated me
When you bite off the hand that feeds
You'll live without what you truly need

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be lon

Have you had enough of me?
You act like I'm something you can throw away

You need to look back and see
how you treated me, how you treated me

You need to look back and see
how you treated me, how you treated me
When you bite off the hand that feeds
You'll live without what you truly need

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything
(Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long)

I am the reason you can't run away
I am the reason you can't escape
Give up you're mine
You're terrible inside
I am the reason you're alive

You're all emotionless inside
Give up you're mine

You need to look back and see
how you treated me, how you treated me
When you bite off the hand that feeds
You'll live without what you truly need

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long
