Killing to Survive

Stay strong
As you stumble through the browns and greys
Back on your own
You’ve got to find a way
To get through these days
Of signalled jokes and laughter tracks
To get through these nights
Of loneliness and desperate acts
The life you have to give
And the dreams that help you live
You’re killing to survive
Killing just to stay alive
Stay strong
As you struggle with the things they say
Back on your own
You’ve got to find a way
To get through these days
Of danger signs and soft soap lines
To get through these nights
Of double binds and fool’s gold finds
The life you have to give
And the dreams that help you live
You’re killing to survive
Killing just to stay alive
