F#m
I've been burning
And dousing the flames
I feel the whiplash
Of the backlash on my face
I melt to sleep at night
But I wake to trip the day
Never for you never for me
Would I kiss your feet of clay

Chorus:
B
I'm still alive and so should I
C
Soak up the wave of compromise
D
Am I the victim of youth
C
Is this the truth?
               F#m
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

There's no conscience
In charity or shame
The voice deceive me
But believe me its the same
I see the black in white
And the color in the gray
Better for me better for you
Going to bleach it all away

Chorus:
I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise
I see the scars, I hear the lies
So what's the truth
Why don't you tell me

Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise
I see the scars, I hear the lies
So what's the truth
Why don't you tell me
