So We Can Stay Alive

Imagine this: we make things right

So beautiful, we cling tonight

To all our dreams, we pin them up

We lose our minds if we lose our hope

We swear to change, but we bottle it

Stick to our guns and all our sins

We bury fear, we drink to it

We might cheat death if we worship it

So we can stay alive

Our sex, our power, our drive

We lose ourselves inside

So we can feel alive

You're the one who should be on trial

For all your hate and your denial

Be careful what it is you break

Every broken thing can't be fixed

And all those fragile things we are

They find their voice, they find their power

They take a grip around your throat

They keep squeezing till your life runs out

So we can stay alive

Our sex, our power, our drive

We lose ourselves inside

So we can feel alive

(Masochistic victim sadist

Victor vanquish valour sadness

Lust and love, our lives, our blindness)

(We can feel alive)

All alone we fight the fear

By ourselves in every way

(We can feel alive)

All our lust, all our greed

All our hate, we're on our knees

(We can feel)

Hear us beg, hear us pray

We can stay alive
