All at once the inherent loneliness of being human sinks in
I'm still haunted by the day that my father said "If I never met your mother my whole life would be so much better"
But in the span of a day much can change and I'm still learning how to keep it together
They told us we would be alright
Yeah, they sold us every single lie
But we know just what it feels like when you lose the will to fight
And that's why we've earned the right to stay alive
Oh, I cannot give up it's taken me so long
And there's way too much riding on us to not have them proven wrong
I can't blame you if you don't want me around
Sometimes I'm not sure I do either
It's not that I don't have a purpose now
But I never learned how to follow the leader
They told us we would be alright
Yeah, they sold us every single lie
But we know just what it feels like when you lose the will to fight
And that's why we've earned the right to stay alive
We're worse than the things that go bump in the night
We are the dogs they abused out of spite
They silenced our bark so we learned how to bite the ones who betrayed us
Yeah, I guess you were right
They f**ing betrayed us
When they told us we would be alright
Yeah, they sold us every single lie
But we know just what it feels like when you lose the will to fight
And that's why we've earned the right to stay alive
To stay alive
To stay alive
To stay alive
To stay alive
If everything has changed
There's nothing left to say
I'm tired of fighting I'll be on my way
