Why Should You Survive

(الألبوم: Imposter Syndrome, Pt. 2 - 2021)

The world broke you
What's left of all the pieces
Broken from abuse
Poor excuse for a species
Crumbled with the heat
You lived your life in the back seat
You aren't fit to wear the crown
Snuffed you out
You didn't make a sound
Didn't make a sound
Bite the leather deep
But don't break your teeth

Am I strong enough?
Can I fight till the end?
You don't know you need me
You can't write me off, you never will again
I know the feeling
I'm always searching, I find the worst things
Give me a sign that you're still alive
(Still alive)
I know you're hurting
It's part of learning
Why should I have to die to let you survive?
To let you survive

You keep praying for a miracle
I'll keep marching to my own
Beat my own way
You followed me
You weren't lead astray
We ran on our hopes and burned our dreams away
Now today
I won't hold the candle for you this time
Not enough to want me dead
You need to skin me alive
Watch the light leave my eyes
You'd rather die than sacrifice your own pride
Why should you survive

Am I strong enough?
Can I fight till the end?
You don't know you need me
You can't write me off, you never will again
I know the feeling
I'm always searching, I find the worst things
Give me a sign that you're still alive
(Still alive)
I know you're hurting
It's part of learning
Why should I have to die to let you survive?

Bite the leather deep
But don't break your teeth
You and I both know your lies
Come to haunt you when you sleep
The scars you've earned
But the lessons haven't learned
The road comes to an end
It's your turn to burn my friend

You built me up
Just to break me down
Follow my lead and now you're not around
Why should you survive?
You're a waste of time
Why should you survive?
You pathetic spec of life

Why should you survive?
Why should you survive?
