Lyrics
White Knuckles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you still lost tonight?
Living but dead inside
This is the proclamation
This is the call to rise
Are you abused alone?
Walking with broken bones
If you feel you've been forgotten
Let this song guide you home
We are the disillusioned
We've been left wanting more
Before every aspiration
Hits the floor
Hold on for your life
All we feel is so far from alive
The damned are done believing
And the cursed can dream no more
So hold on for your life
Because only the strong survive
They tell you what you should be
They sell you the plastic dreams
Opinions are all provided
But nothing is what it seems
I dare you take control
Cause empty are hands
And bruised are the souls
Of those who show no resistance
Of those who are weak below
We are the disenchanted
Who die with each passing day
No one here understands us
So I say
Hold on for your life
All we feel is so far from alive
The damned are done believing
And the cursed can dream no more
So hold on for your life
Because only the strong survive
How will it feel?
To live your lie until your dying day
Where nothing is real
As we sacrifice
Bending until we break
It's been revealed
Hold on for your life
Dreams are not theirs to take
Dreams are not theirs to take
Hold on for your life
All we feel is so far from alive
The damned are done believing
And the cursed can dream no more
So hold on for your life
Because only the strong survive
