Still Alive
Prison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last time we listened
The last time we listened to you
We decided to forfeit
But now we're here and we've got something to prove

No! We will never die
No! We will never die
No! Let me hear your voices one more time

No! We will never die
No! We will never die
No! We're screaming this 'til we're buried alive

I said I'm...

Still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive
You know I'm still alive
And I'm not giving up without a fight

It's time to let go
It's time to let go of you
We're just sick of the torment
It's too much after all we've been through

You can't tell me I'm terminal
'Cause I'm not done here yet
You can't force me to burn it all
'Cause we're not done here yet

Kill me if you can
Kill me if you can
Kill me if you can
'Cause you know you can't

Kill me if you can
Kill me if you can
Awww yeah, you know you can't

Still alive
Yeah, we're still alive
You know we're still alive
And we're not giving up without a fight

And I've stared death in both of her eyes
And I've cried my way through my sweet goodbyes
And I've tried suicide and made up my mind
I'd rather stand up and live than lay down and die

Still alive




Still alive
Awww, you know we're still alive
