A Reason to Live Lyrics by JT Music

Nerdcore Encore

2013

[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
Take a deep breathm 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 growin'
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 prayin' to God it's not all wasted
Trust me, you never wanna wake up
If you don't have a dream worth chasin'
[Chorus]
Our time is running out, and we got nothin' 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
[Verse 2]
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 (Yup)
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!
[Chorus]
Our time is running out, and we got nothin' 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Our time is running out, and we got nothin' 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
[Outro]
But the thing I'll put first is the girl by my side
But the thing I'll put first is the girl by my side
