Alive in a Better Light

[Verse 1] They laughed at the pink in my bedroom

Called me a princess and slammed the door

Nobody asked what my name meant

Nobody wondered what I was for

[Pre-Chorus] But I kept a little light

Hidden in my chest

And I kept a little hope

Underneath my vest

[Chorus] Hot pink hair and a heart of flame

Nobody here is calling me a name

Hot pink eyes and a spellbook bright

I woke up alive in a better light

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh

Alive in a better light

Oh-oh-oh

I'm alive

[Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] A god came down while I was dreaming

Told me save your coins and stand up tall

Now the boss said sorry doesn't matter

Now the phone works after all

[Pre-Chorus] So I packed a little bag

Waved the east goodbye

And I drove a week of desert

Just to reach the other side

[Chorus] Hot pink hair and a heart of flame

Nobody here is calling me a name

Hot pink eyes and a spellbook bright

I woke up alive in a better light

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh

Alive in a better light

Oh-oh-oh

I'm alive

[Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Late night vision in a hospital bed

Felt so real I nearly turned around

But the morning came and I chose ahead

I chose ahead

[Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Hot pink hair and a heart of flame

Nobody here is calling me a name

Hot pink eyes and a spellbook bright

I woke up alive in a better light

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh

Alive in a better light

Oh-oh-oh

I'm alive [End]
