Stay Alive
________________________
We sleep half our life away
So just keep staying awake
We sleep half our life away
So just keep staying awake
Puke your meds and look alive
Even though you’re dead inside
All those bullies shook the hive
And they’re in for quite a ride
When you’re laying in bed feeling fake
Just keep staying awake
When you have a feeling your life’s a remake
Just keep staying awake
So all of those who doubted me
All those who shouted, “freak”
All those who don’t say bye
Will have a silent suicide
So they can all just go and take a dive
All the way down thirty stories
We may meet ‘em again in purgatory
But for now we’ll still stay alive
When your eyelids feel like fifty-pound weights
Just keep staying awake
When morning’s when it seems to start getting late
Just keep staying awake
Just think that death cannot happen to you
It only happens in movies, it’s just not true
The mortuary seems to have no more room
So you’re not going anywhere anytime soon
The easy answer is suicide
It’s hard just to stay alive
But if you’ve been where I’ve been and returned
You stayed awake while the lesson was learned
When you’re laying in bed feeling fake
Just keep staying awake
When you have a feeling your life’s a remake
Just keep staying awake
When your eyelids feel like fifty-pound weights
Just keep staying awake
When morning’s when it seems to start getting late
Just keep staying awake
