Still Alive
Ellen McLain/Jonathan Coulton Lyrics

This was a triumph
What we've done is amazing

I'm making a note here; "Huge success"
I'm noting it down in order to remember how huge of a success it is

It's hard to overstate
There aren't enough words to describe

My satisfaction
How content and happy I am

Aperture Science:
The scientific company we represent

We do what we must
We do what's necessary

Because we can
It's possible for us to do it

For the good of all of us
For the benefit of everyone

Except the ones who are dead
Except those who are no longer alive

But there's no sense crying
There isn't a reason to cry

Over every mistake
Over every failure

You just keep on trying
You keep putting in effort

Till you run out of cake
Until you no longer have anything to work with

And the science gets done
And the scientific work is completed

And you make a neat gun
And a cool weapon is created

For the people who are
For those who still are

Still alive
Still remaining living

I'm not even angry
I'm not experiencing feelings of anger

I'm being so sincere right now
I'm being completely honest

Even though you broke my heart,
Even though you caused me heartbreak

And killed me
And put an end to me

And tore me to pieces
And ripped me apart

And threw every piece into a fire
And destroyed all that remained of me

As they burned it hurt because
Feeling it burn caused me pain

I was so happy for you
I was very pleased for your success

Now, these points of data
The numerical information we collected

Make a beautiful line
Create a graph that looks aesthetically pleasing

And we're out of beta
The product has gone past the testing stage

We're releasing on time
It's releasing on schedule

So I'm GLaD I got burned
So I'm happy I experienced difficulties along the way

Think of all the things we learned-
Reflecting on all the things we discovered

For the people who are
For those who still are

Still alive
Still remaining living

Go ahead and leave me
You're free to leave me behind

I think I'd prefer to stay inside
I'd rather remain indoors

Maybe you'll find someone else
Perhaps you'll discover somebody new

To help you?
In order to assist you

Maybe Black Mesa?
Possibly Black Mesa

That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance*
It was a humorous remark meant to be understood as impossible

Anyway this cake is great
Aside from all that, this cake is delicious

It's so delicious and moist
It's so flavorful and moist

Look at me: still talking
See, I keep chattering away

When there's science to do
When there's scientific work to be done

When I look out there,
When I glance outside

It makes me GLaD I'm not you
It fills me with happiness to not be you

I've experiments to run
I have experiments to perform

There is research to be done
There is studying to undertake

On the people who are
On the people who still are

Still alive
Still remaining living

And believe me I am
And it's true, I am

Still alive
Still remaining living

I'm doing science and I'm
I'm carrying out scientific work and I'm

Still alive
Still remaining living

I feel fantastic and I'm
I feel wonderful and I'm

Still alive
Still remaining living

While you're dying I'll be
As you're losing life, I'll be

Still alive
Still remaining living

And when you're dead I will be
And once you're dead I'll still be

Still alive
Still remaining living

Still alive
Still remaining living
