ManAlive is a diverse, high energy, blues driven, hard rock band, from the Seattle/Tacoma WA area. We mesh together alot of complementary guitar and vocal parts to create an original sound all our own. Our debut release entitled "Constant State Of Sickness" (2005) has 11 quality songs, and we have just released our new self-titled ep "ManAlive" (2009). All I can say is "Put You Seatbelt On!" After six years of honing our skills and adding new bassist, Cam Brown, we're finally ready to take this thing to the next level! Line up as follows, Terry Houser - Lead Vocals Brian Martinez - Guitar/Vocals Alex Inderbitzin - Drums Cam Brown - Bass

Lyrics

One too many afflictions
and I'm down on the bottom again
I have come to know that it
ain't all what you make of it
Ya, I savor the good times
but it ain't easy when they're few or far between
Don't get me wrong
it's not the point of this song
to prove I'm a pessimist
It just boils down like this...

Now there's no more revelations
about how I should give it all up
But I can not overcome all of these 
feelings of hate inside me
Sure I'm under some pressure
but I know that it will, it will never, ever, ever stop
Don't get me wrong
it's not the point of this song
to prove I'm a pessimist
It just comes down to this...

(See them come for me, so real)
I'm on the outside and I wanna come in
(And all I have to do is fight)
'Cause I want the truth, and I cannot find it

These afflictions, they come from this
A side effect of the pursuit
It's the truth that I cannot find
It's the truth that I cannot find

And there's one more affliction, and I'm
back on the bottle again
I have come and gone
has anyone even seen it
You know I savor the good times
whether they were few or few or far between
I wrote this song, then I slid down a rung
and I'm barely catching on to it
It just goes down like this...

(See them come for me, so real)
I'm on the outside and I wanna come in
(All I have to do is fight)
'Cause I want the truth, and I cannot find it
(All I know is my own way I see things, that's ok)
I'm on the outside and I wanna come in
(All I have to do is fight)
'Cause I want the truth, and I cannot find it

These afflictions they come from this
A side effect of the pursuit
It's the truth that I cannot find

There's only one way to test the water
and that's to dip your foot on in
Now just take it a step on further
Go ahead and jump on in
Now there's only one way to test the water
and that's to dip your foot on in
Now just take it a step on further child
Go ahead, go ahead and jump on in

One, too, many, Afflictions
