[Verse 1]
I was an un-struck match
Alone in the cold
My soul exposed
A life of fear and shame
But it's time I lit the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm going out like the 4th of July
I’m feeling ready to explode
But I will be just fine
Cause all I needed was a spark to ignite
You tried to keep me in the dark
But now I’m spreading the light

[Chorus]
Life’s a sinking ship
The world is burning
But I won’t go down with it
(Won’t go down with it)
Know that I’m not wasting any time
I’m dying but tonight I feel alive
(Tonight I feel alive)

[Verse 2]
No longer will I stand in my own way
Losing it all was just the price I had to pay
You either move or be moved
The world will still move on without you
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m going out like the 4th of July
I was better off dead
But now I’m feeling alive
Cuz all I needed was a spark to ignite
You tried to keep me in the dark
But now I’m spreading the light

[Chorus]
Life’s a sinking ship
The world is burning
But I won’t go down with it
(Won’t go down with it)
Know that I’m not wasting any time
I’m dying but tonight I feel alive

[Verse 3]
(Tonight I'm feeling alive)
With how I feel in this one little moment
(Tonight I feel alive)
I fought hard even when I felt broken
(Tonight I feel alive)
Tear it down and live it up
(Tonight I'm feeling alive)
I fought too hard to give a fuck
[Bridge]
Tonight I'm a candle burning brighter
And brighter and brighter
Don't you try and put me out
No don't you try and put me out

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm going out like the 4th of July
(We're going out, we're going out)
Cause all I needed was a spark to ignite
(Ready to ignite)

[Chorus]
Life’s a sinking ship
The world is burning
But I won’t go down with it
(Won't go down with it)
Now that I’m not wasting any time
I’m dying but tonight I feel alive
Tonight I feel alive
