So We Can Stay Alive Lyrics - Strange Little Birds - Garbage

Imagine this: we make things right 

So beautiful, we cling tonight 

To all our dreams, we pin them up 

We lose our minds if we lose our hope 

We swear to change, but we bottle it 

Stick to our guns and all our sins 

We bury fear, we drink to it 

We might cheat death if we worship it 

So we can stay alive 

Our sex, our power, our drive 

We lose ourselves inside 

So we can feel alive 

You're the one who should be on trial 

For all your hate and your denial 

Be careful what it is you break 

Every broken thing can't be fixed 

And all those fragile things we are 

They find their voice, they find their power 

They take a grip around your throat 

They keep squeezing till your life runs out 

So we can stay alive 

Our sex, our power, our drive 

We lose ourselves inside 

So we can feel alive 

(Masochistic victim sadist 

Victor vanquish valour sadness 

Lust and love, our lives, our blindness) 

All alone we fight the fear (we can feel alive) 

By ourselves in every way (we can feel alive) 

All our lust, all our greed 

All our hate, we're on our knees 

Hear us beg, hear us pray (we can feel) 

We can stay alive 

We can stay alive 

We can stay alive 

We can stay alive 

We can stay alive
