GABE I am what you want me to be And I'm your worst fear, you'll find it in me Come closer Come closer DOCTOR (spoken) where does he come from, do you think? GABE I am more than memory I am what might be, i am mystery You know me So show me When I appear, it's not so clear if I'm a single spirit or i'm flesh and blood But I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive And I'll show you the world through my open eyes I'm alive, I'm alive, it's a sole surprise I'm alive, so alive I'm alive NATALIE (spoken) Four times a week, that's a lot, don't you think? DAN (spoken) It's what the doctor recommended. NATALIE (spoken) It's not going to get better, is it? He's never going away. DAN (spoken) I don't know, Natalie. NATALIE (spoken) This is one of those moments when you could just be a typical parent and lie and say yes. DAN (spoken) yes. NATALIE (spoken) Thanks, that's comforting. GABE I am flame and I am fire, I am destruction, decay, and desire I'll curve you DAN (spoken) You know, Natalie... GABE I'll heal you DAN (spoken) It's not all about your comfort! GABE I am your wish, your dream come true, and I am your darkest nightmare, too. I've shown you DAN (spoken) It's about helping your mother! GABE I own you NATALIE (spoken) As always! GABE And though you made me, you can't change me I'm the perfect stranger who knows you too well But I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive And I'll tell you the truth through my wise disguise I'm alive, I'm alive, and as each lie dies, I'm alive, so alive I'm alive I'm alive NATALIE (spoken) Valium, Xanax... GABE I'm alive NATALIE What the hell? GABE I'm alive, I'm right behind you You say forget, but I remind you You can try to hide, but you know that I will find you If you wont' grieve me, you won't leave me behind Oh, how, oh DOCTOR (spoken) You say he's eighteen now. Isn't that when kids move out? Don't you think it's time to let him go? GABE No, no, no I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive. If you climb on my back, then we both can fly You're alive, I'm alive, and we'll never die I'm alive, so alive I'm alive Yeah yeah I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive |
