Stay Alive - Social Repose

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
