Aged Beyond Decay - Stay Alive

Описание: Stay Alive is an intimate unraveling of someone who has spent too long being strong for everyone but himself. By day he listens, supports, and absorbs the hurt around him — but in the quiet of the night, his own buried struggles press down until he’s ready to break. The world sees calm; inside, he’s fraying.

The song follows the tension between holding on for others and silently falling apart, capturing the heaviness of being unheard, the fear of speaking up, and the fragile hope that reaching out might save him before the silence wins.

Lyrics:
I wake to the screaming in my head —
Then silence, heavy and deep.
It settles in my chest like lead,
Another night without sleep.
Another day I didn’t ask to keep.
Another night I faced alone.

I bury my feelings to hear you out,
Suppress my pain in silence.
But I’m splitting wide at the seams,
About to break from defiance.
I’m struggling just to stay alive...
(Stay alive... )

You say I should talk to someone,
But you’re too hurt to hear me.
And if I can’t speak to you, the one I trust...
Then how can I speak to anyone at all?
I’ve been burnt by others before —
(I’ve been burnt...)

Every second is a war inside my mind,
Dark thoughts race like blades I hide.
I’ve even checked my policy — you’ll be fine...
But I’m still breathing, still trying to
Stay alive.
(Stay alive... stay alive...)

What if I swerved into headlights one day,
Right on the morning drive?
Or slit my wrists while chopping lunch,
Would anyone ask why?
These thoughts flood in like static noise,
But your face keeps me alive.
(You keep me alive...)

When I speak, they laugh it off —
Think I’m joking, like I’m a fool.
They don’t see the storm beneath,
Or how much pain I’ve repressed.
So I stay quiet, bite my tongue,
Just to help you through...

Distractions numb but never heal,
Now emptiness is all I feel.
I can’t see through the static blue —
But if this is the last thing I do...
(If this is the last thing...)

Every second is a war inside my mind,
Dark thoughts race like blades I hide.
I’ve even checked my policy — you’ll be fine...
But I’m still breathing, still trying to
Stay alive.
(Stay alive... stay alive...)

I’ve carried your pain like it’s mine to bear,
Tried to be your rock — something strong and there.
But every time I hold your pain,
And every time I hear you break,
I feel myself begin to shake.
I’ll listen on, I’ll hold the line,
Compress, suppress, deny what’s mine.
But I fear I’ve drowned my voice,
Too much silence, too much noise.

Every second is a war inside my mind,
But I still hope for something kind.
Even if I fade into the night —
Let this truth survive

But if this is the last thing I do...
Always remember that
I love you.
(I love you...)
Stay alive.
(Stay alive... stay alive...)
