Word Alive, The - Glass Castle Lyrics






So you think you can get rid of me?
I'll your place at the head of this dynasty.

I am the reason you're alive.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.
When you bite off the hand that feeds,
You'll live without what you truly need.

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything.
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long.

Have you had enough of me?
You act like I'm something you can throw away.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.
When you bite off the hand that feeds,
You'll live without what you truly need.

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything.
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long.

I am the reason you can't run away.
I am the reason you can't escape.
Give up you're mine.
You're terrible inside.
I am the reason you're alive.

You're all emotionless inside.
Give up you're mine.

You need to look back and see,
how you treated me, how you treated me.
When you bite off the hand that feeds,
You'll live without what you truly need.

Sacrificing everything, but does it even mean anything.
Any moment this could all be gone, without respect it won't be long.

  3. Z.... R....

    Is it just me or does he sound like Chester from Linkin park for a few seconds after 3:23?

  4. I.... N....

    I wish the lyrics were good.

  5. A.... d....

    this is fuckn insane love it

  6. A.... D....

    Their only good album

    A.... D....

    Alexandr Sanëk Chlypowko lol no

    A.... D....

    Empire, Deceiver, Life Cycles and REAL. are all top quality. Dark Matter is great too but it doesn't live up to those albums

  7. R.... M....

    What does he say at about 0:39-0:46? I can understand "don't forget // who put you here" at the end, but I just can't figure the first part. The lyrics on the description don't have that part and all the lyric sites I've visited so far don't have it to, some even marked it with "?"... so it would be awesome if someone could help me out. :)

    R.... M....

    +Rodrigo Medeiros This is something I've wondered for a year now lmao

    R.... M....

    +Rodrigo Medeiros "You're too quick to forget who put you here" :)

  8. C.... L....

    that scream though at 2:50

    C.... L....

    +Chris LaNier tis epic

  9. A.... B....

    favorite band atm and favorite song in the album ((:

  10. M.... ....

    Does Anyone Know what he says at 40??

    M.... ....

    "youre too quick to forget who put you here" i think. Dont quote me on that.

  11. G.... A....

    Possibly the best song off the album, if not.

  12. B.... K....

    0:00 to 0:12 in Be Careful What You Wish For by MMF's intro + Luke Holland's drumming at 0:12 + match the keys = awesome intro to a song!

  13. C.... ....

    luke you write as good as you cover. Quite rare. keep it up

  14. c.... ....

    wtf is wrong with the production? guitar tone sucks ass imo

    c.... ....

    I know, i talked to telle on facebook about it and they said they didnt want that "perfect guitar tone" they had on the last album. Like it was fucking amazing why get rid of it? 

  15. H.... P....

    With Luke and Zack driving the sound, the best thing about this band in moments like this is their technicality. This song is the best example of it, I think. This is so much easier to appreciate than all of that "technocore" shit or generic metalcore that is so prominent today, because this is more mature, refined, and focused, almost ABR-esque. Does anybody else know of other bands like this that have a sound similar to this song? I've heard some stuff like this from Texas In July, My Heart To Fear, This Or The Apocalypse, and obviously August Burns Red like I said before, but I'm not really sure who else there is out there.

    H.... P....

    listen to Deciever by TWA
    easily their best/most tech
    I prefer Jason Salinas on drums anyway, would recommend that album

    H.... P....

    Oceans ate alaska

    H.... P....

    Oh and Kingdom of Giants, I the breather, and sirens and sailora

    H.... P....

    @Hunter Parker I think you haven't heard the best "technocore shit" :) Check out I See Stars' New Demons and tell me what you think.

    H.... P....

    @Colton Zimmerman KoG is good as well.

  16. D.... F....

    2:37 is so ball-bustingly brutal. love it!

  17. M.... ....

    Does anyone know the lyrics at 0:40 ?
    it isn't in the description 

  18. R.... G....

    TWA
    aka THE WORD ALIVE KICKS ASS
    LOL
    WHY?
    BC ROB 316 SAID SO
    LMAO

  19. C.... ....

    Excellent! Too addictive this song.

  20. R.... M....

    Hey everyone! If you liked this song, please come check out my cover of it on my channel. Put a lot of work and production into my covers, and would love to get some more feedback from all of you. Thanks! :)

  21. L.... S....

    This song is so sick !! Damn the guitars are written so well. Great job guys.

  22. M.... B....

    @ 2:37 I love this breakdown !

  23. C.... M....

    luke is kicking ass in this band, love it

  24. t.... ....

    This rocks

  25. M.... v....

    Just found this band I'm loving it ! Top fav.

  26. i.... ....

    Zack omg dude!!!!

  27. f.... ....

    best part imo 2:20 - 3:05

  28. T.... N....

    This album is quickly erasing everything good TWA has ever done for me. My Tuesday is officially shit because of this.

    T.... N....

    I'm quite sure your Tuesday is exactly the same as it would've been if you haven't heard it. it's just music, stop whining.

    T.... N....

    Well when you put it like that, jeeez. 

    T.... N....

    @Taylor NEff You're overreacting dude.

    T.... N....

    I do agree with you though. Empire was sick, debut full length blew me put of water, cycles was enjoyable but this is just.... Bad like it's really boring to listen too

  29. B.... ....

    This is one of the songs that I actually like on their new album. First off, they need to go back to Sturgis because this mix isn't that good for a band with such talent. And Tony is just as good, if not slightly less talented guitar wise than Zack. So give him credit! shah. Telle is okay and Luke is great

  30. R.... M....

    No matter what you say about this album you have to respect that guitar solo

  31. P.... M....

    The guitar solo at 1:23 reminds me alot of Angel Vivaldi

  32. N.... Z....

    The guitar reminds me of protest the hero

  33. A.... G....

    Question: Does anything on here live up to "How to build an Empire?"

  34. T.... ....

    Not sure I like this album as much as Deceiver and Life Cycles, but it still holds that TWA feeling and tone to it which is always why I come back.

    T.... ....

    This album is good. But I will love Deciever more.

  35. J.... C....

    This is alright.. They've had better

  36. F.... ....

    Damn ... 1:23

  37. A.... S....

    This song is awesome! 

  38. D.... M....

    but dem drums doe

  39. M.... F....

    Best song on the album!!!!

  40. W.... �....

    I don't get it....everyone is complaining about how "bad" this is or talking about the mixing of the songs..but honestly it sounds great and the album has so much meaning to itself.

    Like this is a "REAL" album
    It has plenty of feeling into
    And his voice gives off emotion.
    Its a great album and TWA changed slightly, in a good way though.

    I love it.
    Thank you fearless for good bands.

    W.... �....

    Totally feel you. I think they took a step closer back to Deceiver from Life Cycles, with adding a refreshing and modern feeling with deep emotions.

  41. M.... ....

    If more of the album sounded like this, I'd be happier.

  42. D.... D....

    Sickkkk asf !

  43. R.... R....

    ok this song not that bad only sound i like on it this album 

  44. S.... L....

    This album has so far been great, i just think for the next album The word alive needs to go back to Joey Sturgis

    S.... L....

    Totally agreed!

    S.... L....

    Or better yet, Andrew Wade. Get back to the Empire days.

  45. N.... S....

    telle voice <3

  46. L.... M....

    Dat Breakdown though!

    L.... M....

    i know, Luke's got some of the fastest hands and feet

  47. k.... ....

    Everything about this album is phenomenal. Keep it up TWA!

  48. x.... ....

    Guitarist is wasting his talent and time with TWA tbh.

    x.... ....

    ignorant.

    x.... ....

    Which one, there's two? lel

    x.... ....

    Your out of your mind. 

    x.... ....

    @ISacredSniiperI i'm guessing he means Zack

    x.... ....

    okay? they have one of the best drummers in the game today and telle is just so raw and original, id hate to say hes wasting his time @xCryingxMisfortunex  

  49. D.... ....

    Still streaming the album but this is one of my favorites so far. Good job, TWA. <3
