  • Fuck it, fuck every single memory
    How you're done wrong but who's the real enemy
    You better figure out not a single thing is meant to be
    The only thing that matter's how you live before you're put to sleep
    That's how you're living if you're living just to breathe
    I never waste a sentence, better listen when I speak
    Or you're gonna know the truth when they put you underneath
    And no one's gonna listen when you're six feet deep
    I keep my heart tucked in my chest
    I hide it underneath with a bulletproof vest
    Who's next? I, no, I never gave a fuck
    I was too busy dying, too busy giving up
    Yeah, trust me
    Just breathe
    One day you're gonna see
    Yeah, trust me
    Just breathe
    Otherwise, you're living on your knees

    This is your life, it's do or die
    The sun may never rise again, so be the light, the vision
    This is your life, it's slipping by
    You try to run but fall again, you get back up, that's living

    Every day I feel like I wanna forget
    And everywhere I go I see the angel of Death
    To the left I see what's right, b-but I hold it in the wrong hand
    It's a fight, I see my life given no chance
    It's hard to wake up, but I wanna believe
    That I'm not alone with a broken dream
    All the glitter ain't gold, don't be naive
    Leave it all behind, just follow me
    Yeah, trust me
    Just breathe
    One day you're gonna see
    Yeah, trust me
    Just breathe
    Otherwise, you're living on your knees

    This is your life, it's do or die
    The sun may never rise again, so be the light, the vision
    This is your life, it's slipping by
    You try to run but fall again, you get back up, that's living

    Today I finally felt like I wasn't in a dream
    This ain't who I am inside or how it's supposed to be
    My mind is on an endless road, and I've been losing sleep
    And as the road is crumbling, these demons start to creep
    I can't hold back, you couldn't stop me if you tried
    You should know that and when the fire burns inside
    You can't hold back anything that never dies
    You should know that, you can't hold back

    This is your life, it's do or die
    The sun may never rise again, so be the light, the vision
    This is your life, it's slipping by
    You try to run but fall again, you get back up, that's living Writer/s: Charlie Scene, Courtney Ballard, Daniel Murillo, Jarod Poythress
