a reason to live

Lyrics

not everybody comes of age at the same time, but sooner or later, you're gonna start taking on responsibility, you've got to be able to carry your own weight, and when that day comes, you'd better be ready, take a deep breath then let go, of the life that you had known, on the first step out that door, you've started to walk down one dark road, infection across the globe, don't lose a grip on that hope, think fast or you won't last long, even when you're grown up you don't stop growing, crazy demented faces, nature is making changes, ain't nothing but traces of civilization left in these forsaken places, putting all i got at stake and praying to god it's not all wasted, trust me you never wanna wake up, if you don't have a dream worth chasing, our time is running out, and we got nothing else, the only thing that keeps us human is each other now, thought i could stick it out, when i was by myself, but you have given me a reason not to shut you out, there's a fire inside her, and it's made her a fighter, i will let the world burn if it means i'll survive, but the thing i'll put first is the girl by my side, lost one too many good friends, can't even keep track of 'em, swept out like dust in the wind, looks like you're the last of 'em, even when you've had enough, i'm always gonna be there to back you up, and i'll do what it takes to keep you safe, because i couldn't care less about the rest of 'em, infected ones had better run, because if they mess with us i'll step on 'em, and then quickly wreck what's left of 'em, looking like someone dissected 'em, yep, fresh trail of flesh and blood, and infected guts left in the mud, that we've left behind, now that's peace of mind, if they want a fight, then we'll give 'em one, now let them come!, a partner's only good for getting you killed, but i've been dead half my life, she is my reason to live, even with the world crumbling down around us, we did something wrong, that you can trust me on, with all the rotten drama, hunger, war, and money gone, everything we've built this whole entire country on, problems that we caused, now look what we're running from, all these broken hearts, but we keep 'em covered up, cause even if you're weak, you gotta keep on looking tough, fighting off the fungus is getting hard enough, but i can never wash my hands of all the wrong i've done, but the thing i'll put first is the girl by my side
