Never Felt Less Alive
Robyn Mackenzie
This needle in my vein
Sugar sweet inside my brain
You know I love the taste
As the heartbreak dies away
And I beg and plead for you to come to me
But I know deep in my soul
I've never felt less alive
Than when I got you here by my side
Used to keep me warm through the night
But now you're just the poison in my dreams
Just a twisted fantasy
So I say goodbye
Just wanna lose control
It's heavy taking back the things you stole
Thought you could make me whole
With every touch you turn to gold
And I scream and fight for you to stay tonight
But I know deep in my bones
I've never felt less alive
Than when I got you here by my side
Used to keep me warm through the night
But now you're just the poison in my dreams
Just a twisted fantasy
Blaze it up, blaze it up to the sky
Burning a different kind of fire
Take me up, yeah take me up higher
I'd say I love you but I don't like liars
Yeah I know deep in my bones
I've never felt less alive
Than when I got you here by my side
Used to keep me warm through the night
But now you're just the poison in my dreams
Just a twisted fantasy
So I say goodbye
Yeah I say goodbye

See this house
It's so giant
Who owns this house?
I do, I do, It's my house
Look at this city
Painfully pretty
It's so lovely and it's so empty
I fell empty and utterly alone
Never felt less alive
Than on the day that I died
Inside my soul
See that car
It's so brand new
And goes so fast
I do, I do, I feel empty
Work for Gorge Profonde
Coming up with new job titles
Do it every week
My heart aches at the repetition
I steal those titles
From people lower down
I ran out of ideas
I run out of ideas ..
CHORUS x3

Re: Never Felt Less Alive
Morning on Sunday you fall from the table
Your needles and drawings the coroner sees
You are brilliant and gentle and wretched and painful
And now that you're dead I can mourn how I please.
(Chorus)
Why did you lie
When you said you'd been cured?
You never felt less alive
Than when you were.
Sunday your wake I am cooking you dinner
I'm safe in the knowledge you can't show up late
You are smiling in pictures, not one from this decade
We're telling each other you used to look great.
(Chorus)
No more waiting for relapse
No more knocking on wood
No more dreading your phone calls
Now I'd pick up if I could.
Go and score with the angels
They don't know where you've been
I'll be down here pretending
That we were closer friends.

I see the snow on the ground
Can't help but think of you
And how you smile at me
Never felt less alive
Than when I'm with you
Feeling dead inside
Never felt less alive
The ice is forming thin
Can't help but think of you
And how you treated me
Never felt less alive
Than when I'm with you
Feeling dead inside
Never felt less alive
All my dreams of love and expectations
Have all blown away in the winter wind
Never felt less alive
Than when I'm with you
Feeling dead inside
Never felt less alive

I remember when you first moved into my home,
I was floating there all alone
It’ll be fifteen years this May,
since when I died that fateful day
But now you’re here, and you’re alive,
and I’m watching you from the other side
We pass each other in the hall,
but it’s like you don’t notice me at all
I’ve never felt less alive
Than when I’m right there by your side
I’ll be waiting for the rest of your life
For you to slip your hand into mine
Maybe one day I can say just a little bit more than “boo!”
I’ve never felt less alive than when I’m with you
I’ve nixed the lights and made your bed
So you can rest your weary head
I cleaned the attic, thought you’d be ecstatic
But you thought that you should be committed
What’s wrong? I’m trying to be nice
Why can’t you see how I’ve helped your life?
I’ll be waiting by the phone
Waiting for your life’s dial tone
I’ve never felt less alive
Than when I’m right there by your side
I’ll be waiting for the rest of your life
For you to slip your hand into mine
Maybe one day I can say just a little bit more than “boo!”
I’ve never felt less alive than when I’m with–
I’m a poltergeist, you’re the polterguest
I wish it was more than that I must confess
I love you so much with all my life
I wish you'd die
I’ve never felt less alive
Than when I’m right there by your side
I’ve been waiting your whole life
For you to slip your hand into mine
Maybe one day I can say more than “boo!”
I’ve never felt less alive than when I’m with you
Than when I’m see-through
And when I play the fool
Than when I fade this tune
Dancing like a ghoul
