Meridene - Stay Alive lyrics

I had the words to repeat Hanging from the tips of bitter tongues As time keeps climbing up the rusty rungs As the ladder she hung Herself down on the street Thinking slow as she begins to sway No one will ever get to climb Another goddamn day No! No! No! No! Please stay, stay alive We've got a lot for which we strive We need your handle on those heights to achieve them No! No! No! No! Our dreams, slowly die As you fell from the sky Now we'll never be those doctors or that lawyer...we couldn't reach the BARR They call a silent retreat The world had scorched a bitter black They started up a plot to get it back Except for something they lacked They couldn't reach new heights Planes they built they couldn't reach the door So they grabbed some rope and held on tight Like the ladder before...they sing (Repeat Chorus) But that ladder came back to its senses, and came on back to mend some fences It wouldn't let us dangle on the line it designed Running dry on bad excuses, trying hard to face the truth That we're the reason why, there's a limit to the sky And just why, can't we love Why must we always push and shove And reach our goals by piling up the bodies Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Our blood, is the same No matter which way we came Be from the bottoms up or on our father's shoulders No! No! No! No! I'll stay, stay alive And raise our hopes up to the sky With lights of caution now cast down from empty rooms And yeah, yeah, yeah, our bones, they may break But my soul you cannot take It's a firefly that I keep in my room Till our hearts are in bloom
