Still Alive
Sara Quin Lyrics

This was a triumph
I've achieved something great

I'm making a note here; "Huge success"
I'm proud of what I've accomplished and want to acknowledge it

It's hard to overstate
It's difficult to fully express

My satisfaction
How pleased and content I am

Aperture Science:
The company I work for

We do what we must
We do what we have to do

Because we can
Because we have the ability to do so

For the good of all of us
To benefit everyone

Except the ones who are dead
Except for those who are no longer alive to benefit

But there's no sense crying
There's no point in becoming emotional

Over every mistake
Over every error or failure

You just keep on trying
You have to persist and not give up

Till you run out of cake
Until you've reached the end of what you have

And the science gets done
And the work is completed

And you make a neat gun
And you create something impressive

For the people who are
For those who are still alive and can benefit from it

Still alive
They are still living

I'm not even angry
I'm not even upset

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

Even though you broke my heart,
Even though you hurt me emotionally

And killed me
And caused me to suffer

And tore me to pieces
And destroyed me completely

And threw every piece into a fire
And disposed of everything that was once me as if it were worthless

As they burned it hurt because
As everything I once was went up in flames, it was painful

I was so happy for you
Despite everything, I was still pleased for your success

Now, these points of data
These pieces of information

Make a beautiful line
Can be used to create something beautiful

And we're out of beta
And our testing is complete

We're releasing on time
We're releasing our product according to schedule

So I'm GLaD I got burned
So I'm happy to have experienced pain and hardship

Think of all the things we learned-
Think of all the knowledge and experience we gained

For the people who are
For those who are still alive and can benefit from what we've learned

Go ahead and leave me
You can go ahead and abandon me

I think I'd prefer to stay inside
I think I'd rather be alone indoors

Maybe you'll find someone else
Perhaps you'll come across someone new

To help you?
To assist and support you

Maybe Black Mesa?
Maybe you'll turn to the rival company, Black Mesa

That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance*
That was just a humorous statement, there's no real chance of that happening

Anyway this cake is great
On another note, this cake is delicious

It's so delicious and moist
It's particularly tasty and moist

Look at me: still talking
I'm still talking a lot

When there's science to do
When there's work to be done in the field of science

When I look out there,
As I look out into the world

It makes me GLaD I'm not you
It makes me happy I'm not in your position

I've experiments to run
I have some experiments to conduct

There is research to be done
I still have research that needs to be completed

On the people who are
On the people who are still alive and can benefit from my work

Still alive
They are still living

And believe me I am
And trust me, I am still

Still alive
I am still living

I'm doing science and I'm
I'm continuing to conduct scientific work

Still alive
I am still living

I feel fantastic and I'm
I feel really good and

Still alive
I am still living

While you're dying I'll be
While you are facing death, I will stay

Still alive
I am still living

And when you're dead I will be
And once you have passed away, I will stay

Still alive
I am still living

Still alive
I am still living
