Lyrics:
Ceschi:
Another year gone.
Stomach fatter, beard fully grown.
Waiting for the nothing and I'm awfully alone.
Sunday went and visited your grave.
Put a wild rose on the Virgin Mary engraved.
Mother sang her song,
brother kneeled,
and I just kept on wishing that the last year wasn't real.
Teeth have sunk into my neck.
Teeth have sunk into my neck.
Build us a holiday out of stones and holograms,
holy relics and hummingbirds,
all to fill this hollow man.
I'm alright.
I'm alright, but don't fuck with me tonight.
These fists are clenched and I will fight for every breath left in this life.
All the mosquitoes in Saskatoon couldn't quite suck the tough out of me yet,
although I know I'm a three legged dog hopping and begging like Vietnam vets.
These years were only appetizers, swallowed quick and wet
but I will not forget the remnants that were left.
Build us a holiday out of straw and out of sticks,
out of claws and out of bricks,
out of gauze and spit.
We're alive, barely alive, but we're alive!
We're alive, barely alive, but we're alive!
Sage Francis:
I make a fist,
stare at it and think,
"This is how big my heart is and I'm scared of it."
'Til they use scissors to open my shirt
I go to work overworked,
in the business of holding a smirk.
Private jokes telepathically shared
from the present me to the past me,
when I had more hair.
The tub remains clogged.
Sloshed through the memories of hooking up friends in need of jobs.
Didn't stop them from requesting loans.
It started with them calling me "Boss" in a condescending tone.
Put an indefinite extension on the zero interest.
Better business bureau better be damn well prepared to be impressed.
We're reporting back to duty, heavily wounded.
Steadily losing our gains.
The enemy moves in.
Gotta choose your weapons wisely
when I bust open my ribcage and I unleash the fist that's beating inside me.
It'll punch more than clocks.
Check your peephole, 'cause there might not be more opportunity that knocks.
Door to door I'm selling artificial tears for your eyes.
Using a stethoscope just to hear your cries.
We're alive. Barely alive, but we're alive...
Surprise.
I can't get enough. Ceschi, the best artist of this generation. Serious.
What Ceschi tells us so often, should be a guideline for everyone. Thank you for the many hours in which you let me share your life for a while. And Mr. Francis, thank you, for grounding me again and....again. Greetings from Germany
It's crazy how much you can relate to someone you've never met.
We're alive, barely alive, but we're alive.....
Chris Mosier if you see this, Stay strong. You are bigger than the obstacles life throws at you. We will get past this.
How have I never heard this until now? Sage and Ceschi on a track together? Sign me up
One of the best performers I've ever seen such heart in what he does and I've seen him probably like 10 times it never gets old . Criminally underrated insane this is all the views.
Love it!
Such x Gxewd Fxxxxxxxg Scrunch-Axbumm!! Yo this was a baxger!
2018!!!
Ceschi's Dex-tro-cit-ty destroyed this... Almost brings back memories.. Lol
Delilah was the first!
💯
Man....this punches me in the feels every damn time.
This type of music is the only stuff I can vibe to these days.
SAME HERE
this still bangs
dear ceschi,
thank you for being such an amazing man.
all the mosquitos in saskatoon havent sucked the tough out of us yet!!!
Lol read this at the same time he said it. One
Maybe the real treasure were the Elmos we've met along the way
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard
Such an underrated song
5 years later and I am still alive... barely, but alive
really great video and excellent lyrics. beat was on point. my 1 yr old even loves it. peace yall
Yes yes yes. The video was both silly and somber, the song so doggedly hopeful even from a battered and nearly resigned standpoint. This is human music. thank you for making real art from people for people!
I can't believe I'm only just now hearing this song! So good
Ceschi? I love you for this one. You're the only one who manages to rock my cranky, depressed soul and I feel a little better afterward. Thanks for the validation that I just don't get from the assheads around me.
You're awesome.
I got some old school Anticon/Why? -vibes off of this. Really good, would definitely like a whole album of this type of stuff.
SOUNDS LIKE why? = broken crow
Its 2020 april 4th I've been listening to this song for years(always loved it) but with these new times it taking on a hole new meaning
CHESCHI I NEEEEED YOU TO COME TO ONTARIO PREFERABLY SOUTHERN ONTARIO.... PLEASE MAN I NEED THIS SHIT LIVE!!!!!
i hadnt seen sage francis in a while. i thought that was just ceschi and even when they took the masks off i still thought it was ceschi twice.. not until the very end i figured it out, i had to rewatch from the beginning. i made this way more mysterious than it actually is, . heh
90% sure that’s a wig
Love it, rings in my head like we're alive barely alive just paralyzed, we're alive barely alive just ostracized
Beautiful! Love this :)
Thank you ceschi for this
Epic! Love you Ceschi and Sage
Slayer shirt, ceschi still loving his metal. Mad respect

i like the Saskatoon/mosquito reference!
Nice work guys!
Amazing

Great video.
This has a great indie rock vibe
very good song
Dope as always!
Dope as always.
As a long time Sage Francis fan, I’ve only recently started listening to fakefour fam. This one came up in queue just after checking out lil xan for the first time, lol what a contrast. 😂
fantastic
Nice work, top song, great video
I like this music dude
"I'm alright, I'm alright, but don't fuck with me tonight"
Nobody giving props for the ramshackle reference? For shame.
so cute
It seems like my favorite bands or artists always have that one video where a kid's birthday gets ruined. Sorry, kids. :-)
Sage killin it with that wig... The only kat that can rock one harder than Black Elvis.
Hellmos.

Thanks again, Ceschi, for a beautiful/painful song and funny/tragic video. Keep up the good work, keep fighting the good fight! No one rocks my lame ass like you?! 👍✨💖😌
blogged here www.ok-tho.com/2015/02/ceschi-feat-sage-francis-barely-alive.html
Yeah, I think that is the point, but some "barely alive" are more "barely alive" than others.
Ha ha so funn5
meow
Dan Harmon?
dAN hArMoN?!?!?
@@therealsagefrancis well, Sage, I gotta admit you kind of look like a healthier Dan Harmon. Must have been filmed before all the frozen dinners...
Sounds like he’s rapping/singing over creep aka the air I breath. Sort of anyways..till the break.
Frustrating as hell that I can’t find this or middle earth on insta😆
100% mc
