Lyrics
Old Friend (Stay Alive)
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.
Say goodbye while you still can
Fight against the hopelessness
Keep rising up until the pain is gone
Don’t make any promises
Old friend, I'm losing my mind
Watching the days turn into years
Watching the years burn dry
Please, stay alive
Please, stay alive
Please, stay alive
Please, survive
Build a world inside a shell
I'm feeling just as hollowed out
I don’t belong
Anywhere I go
Always the outsider
Old friend, I'm losing my mind
Watching the days turn into years
Watching the years burn dry
Please, stay alive
Please, stay alive
Please, stay alive
Please, survive
Please, survive
