lyrics

When you say that you have nothing else to live for
Cause everything has fallen apart
But even at the end of the mightiest storm
Shines a brighter light
Raising the colors of a rainbow

Don't let them pull you down
Don't let your feet touch the ground
They say, "That we all have a purpose"
And I'm sure that what we chose was worth this
Don't think your life is worthless, don't think your life is worthless
It's the art of staying alive

I don't think you know the hold you have on me
Your words cut sharp like a knife that's pressed on my skin
It's a reminder of who I've been
And who I will never be again
Who I will never be again

Don't let them pull you down
Don't let your feet touch the ground
They say, "That we all have a purpose"
And I'm sure that what we chose was worth this
Don't think your life is worthless, don't think your life is worthless
It's the art of staying alive

Feed them ignorance with both hands
One day they'll understand
Feed them ignorance with both hands
One day they'll understand
Can we survive, can we survive
One day they'll understand
One more day, one more day
One day they'll understand
