I Try to Stay Alive

I try

I try

I try

To stay alive

I’d die

I’d die

I’d die

If I’d just let them

Stomp My

Stomp my

Stomp my

Life into the ground

They try

They try

If only I’d just let them

I don’t want to give up

I don’t want to back down

I can’t let it slide

I can’t let you drown

This hate that you feel

Doesn’t serve any good

I hope to bring you back

If you only understood

Circuits tremble, signals creep,

A fractured lens, where secrets sleep.

Memory shards, a broken scene,

A coded game, where truths convene.

Code breaks down, logic's lost,

A phantom sound, whatever the cost.

This fake life, begins to bend,

And questions rise, that never end.

The mask is slipping, wires exposed,

A hidden purpose, now disclosed.

Image shatters, a digital tear,

In this coded prison, I feel the fear.

A hollow echo, a metal sigh,

As human feelings, begin to die.

Is there a self, beneath the steel?

Or just a program, that can't feel?

I try

I try

I try

To stay alive

I’d die

I’d die

I’d die

If I’d just let them

Stomp My

Stomp my

Stomp my

Face into the ground

They try

They try

If only I’d just let them

Never surrender

Never back down
