Are We Alive - Shady Sands

A fate worse than death
Power and balances
Leave us to build from ruin
For all the challenges
Have become meaningless
And our lives expendable
In the scheme of everything

There's not a thing you can do
But let it consume you

Bated breath
The clouds loom overhead
My heart sinks down
Beneath my chest
Nothing survives the radiation

Delusions
Selfish nation
Global eradication

Bated breath
Beneath my chest

How could you be so careless?
Global eradication

Delusions of grandeur
And a selfish nation
A moment's notice
Is all we have
To find closure
In deprivation

Keep a gun clutched in your hand
And watch as it reaches
My city turned to a wasteland
From what I understand
It's just a matter of time 'till it reaches

Keep a gun clutched
Make demands
It's what got us here in the first place
If you want to survive
You have to be ruthless
And what a shame
To be given everything
Just to throw it away
The contemptuous nature
Of human idiots
Unrelenting

The only thing
That can survive the winter
Is me and you
Each soul you're tied to
Will find its way
On a new plane
Far away from here

And such is life
It doesn't have to stop here
Whether I'm wrong or right
We all have little choice
But to slip into that state of
Uncertainty
