Stay Alive Lyrics

I just think you like to cry because you're a pisces moon

Dreaming of a life where you eat from silver spoons

Only got a smile when you're sleeping in your tomb

That pretty brain of yours, it peaked at childhood, mine did too

The world just wasn't made for timid minds with a fear of responsibility

That's you and me, that's you and me

The world just wasn't made for people pleasers with a softness in their speech

That's you and me

But, I tell you

We can make it through

We can make it through

If the beauty's in the numbers, then I'm really gonna need you

Stay alive with me tonight, you see

We all face the grave one day, yeah

We all face the grave one day, so stick around now

'Cause you're going there anyway

We die one day, but not today

La-la-la-la-la-la

See what's left

We're all gonna die in the end

You can't hide from that fact

I know it's shit, I know it's bad

I've read the news, seen the headlines

Let them fester in my mind

We're in the masses and everybody's in those rosy glasses

Nobody feels like they're important and all your work feels unrewarding

The stomachs rumble and the pavements' used as pillows

Statues carved as monsters but they're dressed like superheroes

Every article is more disaster, I don't have the power to fight

I find it hard getting out of my own bed sometimes

We can make it through

We can make it through

If the beauty's in the numbers then I'm really gonna need you

Stay alive with me tonight, you see

We all face the grave one day

We all face the grave one day, so stick around now

'Cause you're going there anyway

We die one day, but not today, oh, oh, yeah, oh

I've had my moments where I prayed for early death

I wanted it to be painless for my final breath

Every year I see that calendar, it's moving quicker

And every year I understand why they turn to the drugs and liquor

'Cause looking at the lens with a sober mind, it just might kill me

My anxiety takes away my ability to thrill-seek

I can barely stomach seeing my town in daylight hours

I've lived here all my life but I'm like a stranger overpowered

By the streets and every single person that I meet

If you've got a voice and heartbeat, guarantee you're scaring me

I should be a grown up girl living in a grown up world

But I've never felt like such a coward

I think I'm living in reverse, I say:

"Can I make it to the end?

I pass on this advice but it won't click inside my head, so be my vessel

Let me live it, live it live it up through you

I'm not strong enough, no, I might not make it through"
