Why Should You Survive

The world broke you
 What's left of all the pieces
 Broken from abuse
 Poor excuse for a species
 Crumbled with the heat
 You lived your life in the back seat
 You aren't fit to wear the crown
 Snuffed you out
 You didn't make a sound
 Didn't make a sound
 Bite the leather deep
 But don't break your teeth
 Am I strong enough?
 Can I fight till the end?
 You don't know you need me
 You can't write me off, you never will again
 I know the feeling
 I'm always searching, I find the worst things
 Give mе a sign that you're still alive
 (Still alive)
 I know you'rе hurting
 It's part of learning
 Why should I have to die to let you survive?
 To let you survive
 You keep praying for a miracle
 I'll keep marching to my own
 Beat my own way
 You followed me
 You weren't lead astray
 We ran on our hopes and burned our dreams away
 Now today
 I won't hold the candle for you this time
 Not enough to want me dead
 You need to skin me alive
 Watch the light leave my eyes
 You'd rather die than sacrifice your own pride
 Why should you survive
 Am I strong enough?
 Can I fight till the end?
 You don't know you need me
 You can't write me off, you never will again
 I know the feeling
 I'm always searching, I find the worst things
 Give me a sign that you're still alive
 (Still alive)
 I know you're hurting
 It's part of learning
 Why should I have to die to let you survive?
 Bite the leather deep
 But don't break your teeth
 You and I both know your lies
 Come to haunt you when you sleep
 The scars you've earned
 But the lessons haven't learned
 The road comes to an end
 It's your turn to burn my friend
 You built me up
 Just to break me down
 Follow my lead and now you're not around
 Why should you survive?
 You're a waste of time
 Why should you survive?
 You pathetic spec of life
 Why should you survive?
 Why should you survive?
