So We Can Stay Alive

(álbum: Strange Little Birds - 2016)

Imagine this: we make things right
So beautiful, we clean tonight
To all our dreams, we pin them up
We lose our minds if we lose our hopes
We swear to change, but we bottle in
Stick to our guns and all our sins
We barely feel, 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 sees
His victor vanquish fallacy
There's lust, our love, our lives, our blindness)

(We can feel alive)
All alone, fight the fear
Find the sex, in every way
(We can feel alive)
All our lies, falling [?]
All our hate, we're on our knees
(We can feel)
Feel respect, feel this way

We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
