Stay Alive – Year of the Locust

“Stay Alive” Lyrics

Standing on the edge
Looking down
You better make your peace

You’re not breaking down
You’re not sticking around
So they can hate you

You weighed the cost
You loved and lost
And still wonder why

You prayed and prayed
Still you got no damn reply

So stay awake
‘Cause I need you to survive
This life is overrated
Still it’s worth one more try

So stay alive
‘Cause I need you to survive
Don’t waste away like me
So jaded and deprived

I called and called
Got no reply
So I drove all night

I turned and burned
Ignorning every single sign
The sirens wail
The red lights spinning where I stand

I gripped and squeezed
But still you slipped
Right through my hands

So stay awake
‘Cause I need you to survive
This life is overrated
Still it’s worth one more try

So stay alive
‘Cause I need you by my side
Don’t waste away like me
So jaded and deprived

Stay alive
Stay alive

So stay awake
‘Cause I need you to survive
This life is overrated
But it’s still worth one more try

So stay alive
‘Cause I need you by my side
Don’t waste away like me
So jaded and deprived

Stay alive
