So We Can Stay Alive

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Imagine this: we make things rightSo beautiful, we cling tonightTo all our dreams, we pin them upWe'll lose our minds if we lose our hopeWe swear to change, but we bottle itStick to our guns and all our sinsWe bury fear, we drink to itWe might cheat death if we worship itSo we can stay aliveOur sex, our power, our driveWe lose ourselves insideSo we can feel aliveYou're the one who should be on trialFor all your hate and your denialBe careful what it is you breakEvery broken thing can't be fixedAnd all those fragile things we areThey find their voice, they find their powerThey take a grip around your throatThey keep squeezing till your life runs outSo we can stay aliveOur sex, our power, our driveWe lose ourselves insideSo we can feel aliveMasochistic victim sadistVictor vanquished valour sadnessLust and love, our lies, our blindness(We can feel alive)All alone we fight the fearBy ourselves in every way(We can feel alive)All our lust, all our greed, all our hateWe're on our knees(We can feel)Hear us beg, hear us prayWe can stay aliveWe can stay aliveWe can stay aliveWe can stay aliveWe can stay aliveWe can stay alive
