Alkaline Trio
Are You Even Here?
[Verse 1]
Back when I was upset, when I was ready, uh-huh
Why didn't you just take off then?
'Cause now we've had time to go and get rational
The anger is gone, but the madness is up and well, oh

[Verse 2]
Songs that play out here, sometimes they matter, uh-huh
Be careful, we're dealing real harm
Did you think that your secret was yours and yours alone?
Did you think that I haven't been sick every day since I've known?

[Chorus]
You're not dumb, don't you listen a word? (Is it that you just don't care?)
Tell me, are you even here?
Was it fun, all grown up and so young? (Hard to see your body going numb)
Tell me, are you even here?

[Verse 3]
So the cuts keep coming, and they get deeper, uh-huh
And now we need more time to heal
If it feels more like work, then I'll fight for the way we used to feel
It's hiding there under the lights, right in front of your eyes and your ears

[Chorus]
You're not dumb, don't you listen a word? (Is it that you just don't care?)
Tell me, are you even here?
Was it fun, all grown up and so young? (Hard to see your body going numb)
Just tell me, are you even here?
[Chorus]
You're not dumb, don't you listen a word? (Is it that you just don't care?)
Tell me, are you even here?
Was it fun, all grown up and so young? (Hard to see your body going numb)
Tell me, are you even here?

[Outro]
There's something up behind that stare
Tell me, are you even here?
