[Intro]

Is this the only way?

Is this all there is?

Is this all that's left?


[Verse 1]

I took the life of my first love before they could take mine

Spend the rest of our days on the blade of a knife

Stand at my back and I'll protect you

I must be strong 'cause if I'm not then they'll get through


[Pre-Chorus]

I saw my reflection in the shovel blade

I saw the old me begin to fade

Is this the only way?


[Chorus]

Even if everything has gone awry

I refuse to just give up and die

Wе will survive (Alive)

If the rеaper has a price, I refuse to pay his debt

You want the flesh from my bones? Well, come and get it

I've taken many lives, another one won't faze me

I'll leave you dead and buried


[Breakdown]

Burning through my bloodstream, I feel it taking hold of me

Once a protector (Now I'm just a vector)

We made a promise once, now you must follow through

Take that knife and end my life before I kill you too


[Interlude]

Please forgive me of my weakness

I'm so tired of this sickness

My strength betrays me, my mind is waning

I fear the end is drawing near

I'm a danger to you, there's nothing else left to do

Maybe I'll just disappear


[Outro]

I slip away in these last days

Maybe now the ache will fade

I don't want to be your burden, of that I'm certain

Just let me sleep
