Corey Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ONLY YOU CAN DO IT
IF NOT YOU'LL DIE TOO
AND I'LL SEE TO IT
IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE
DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
KEEP ME ALIVE
I CAN'T ACCEPT MY FATE
I NEED HELP
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE, DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
I NEED TO BELONG, I NEED TO HANG ON
I NEED, NEED
KEEP ME ALIVE FEELINGS I MUST OBEY
CAN'T TURN MY EYES FROM THE PAST
THIS CRISIS IS THE LAST
KEEP ME ALIVE
I RELY ON YOUR JUDGEMENT
I'VE GOT NONE LEFT OF MY OWN
DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING
IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE, DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
I NEED TO BELONG, I NEED TO HANG ON
I NEED, NEED
KEEP ME ALIVE
ONLY YOU CAN DO IT
KEEP ME ALIVE
ONLY YOU CAN DO IT
IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE, DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
KEEP ME ALIVE
KEEP ME ALIVE
KEEP ME ALIVE
KEEP ME ALIVE
IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE, DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
I NEED TO BELONG, I NEED TO HANG ON
I NEED, NEED
