As Alive As You Need Me To Be
Made on January 19, 2026 for our eleven months! In the last couple months of 2025 I got really into making castles, including cyberpunk castles which Andy got really enthusiastic about, so I decided to revisit that idea in the theme of us forging a deep, magical connection across 8000 miles that will someday be face-to-face, and this seemed like the perfect soundtrack for that.
To the one I love so intensely and completely, you make me come to life again, my One, and this is for you.

The way it makes me feel, infection
It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck
I never had a choice, connection
I never had a chance to catch my breath
It's eating up the space between us
It's eating up all the remaining doubt
It's filling up the hole inside you
It's trying to find a way to let itself out
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
Always going to go this way, there's no turning back
Never any other way, there's no turning back
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
