James Field - Look Alive

When you're thinkin' wisdom, they conjure up my name
My namesakes reminiscent of wolves, and my silhouettes the same
Light reaches all of us, but whose frozen the flame
Notice the ones that play with loaded dice in the game
Keep drinkin' on the rocks, till there ain't no ice in the tray
(Remember pain is humbling)
Understood it's the price we pay
Back to the same old, the same old
Plans change, rearrange the frame of control
Blasphemous words, spit on the dinner table
We make up the facts we need, to fit the fable
Confident geldings, think they're independent and stable
Other side of the isle, pretty cracks in these porcelain angels

In the dark of the night
With only the moonlight as a stark outline
Overshadowing reality hiding outside
Wake up to the warning, you know the signs, look alive

Pay attention when
They're submerging us
Their hypothermia, determines what
We learn from them
I've got no patience
I'm done waiting
Look alive

Second place is for the first person to fall behind
They say
("pick your poison")
I reply
("they're all mine")
My calling card, is comprised of my initials
Between the family name, I'm seem to be caught up in the middle
Who will follow through with intentions we always belittle
Caution is crucial, soon it will cost us our pistols
Our nature is natural, but our actions are artificial
Same with the hypocrite rejecting light like a crystal
We tell ourselves to yell 'n rebel against somethin' official
Oh sly fox, why you hung up in the thistle
Irony is tiring, I sung it a whistle
Toxin in the industry, I cut myself from the gristle
Trouble finds the innocent no matter where they stay
Sheltered individuals wish the fear away, yet I hear 'em say
"Criminals, they're innocent, give all 'em chance"
Break eggs with a rapist, havin' a crack at your pants
Y'all believe anything if it's brought to you by many people
You're sheep, and the wolves have been hidden midst the evil
Standing hopeless, like in the path of a solar flare
Wake up and realize something you're supposed to have, was never there

In the dark of the night
With only the moonlight as a stark outline
Overshadowing reality hiding outside
Wake up to the warning, you know the signs, look alive

Pay attention when
They're submerging us
Their hypothermia, determines what
We learn from them
I've got no patience
I'm done waiting
Look alive

Information from every side has got me hallucinating
Symmetry seems out of place, cause the lines are complicated
Off base, from opiates, we're not longer a lucid nation
Members in our government have been related to Satan
The oblivious, ignore the war, till it's at they're door
Wonder where's the guns, yeah, that's what they were for
Tell me exactly where you thought you'd make a difference
Thinking that takin a radical position, would ensure the rest of us would listen, while you're
Tryna beat us in submission
How many clues do we need to see there's somethin' missin
Name the day, when we stray away, from crooks and lies
Final time I told you all, look alive (Look alive)
