Stay Alive

The preaching invisible ghost
Tells me what I need the most
Thinking it knows where to go
Asking to blindly follow

A simple task that sounds so removed
Just be happy instead of consumed
To naive to know what's right
You're too young to take your own life

Don't tell me to stay alive
You don't know what it takes to survive
Maybe one day I can be revived
But don't you tell me to stay alive

Think about the journey ahead
As you swiftly drift off to bed
Well it's not really what they said
But the ideas that you've been fed

A simple task that sounds so removed
Just be happy instead of consumed
To naive to know what's right
You're too young to take your own life

Don't tell me to stay alive
You don't know what it takes to survive
Maybe one day I can be revived
But don't you tell me to stay alive
A fragile mind coping with a steady unwind
People twice your age sentenced to a faulty design
But try to understand permanence, the nemesis of time
Just try to stay alive

Linger on instead
A broken record plays in your head
Mindsets must be taught
To void original thought

Don't write me off
Cause my vacancy
Is a blank canvas
I can't handle this
I can't understand
The weight of my choices
My innocence is a blessing
And a curse

Too naive to know whats right
You're too young to say goodbye

Don't tell me to stay alive
You don't know what it takes to survive
Maybe one day I can be revived
But don't you tell me to stay alive
Lie, try, try, try, lie
Try to stay alive
