lyrics

Don't ever say you didn't mean those things
I prefer the arrow to the poisoned drink
I don't sleep so well with you inside my dreams
But I can't sleep at all when they're without

I don't know when I will see you
Maybe I'll never ever see you
These years just want to eat us alive
But please you know what to do
Survive, survive, just survive.

I see the numbers laid grim in the news
And they can't be you, no they can't be you
I know that archer, who draws the nock in sleep
To tell how it will be, but we've yet to meet

I don't know when I will see you
Maybe I'll never ever see you
These years seem intent on us to die
But please you know what to do
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive.

I don't really want to hear you changed your mind
They'd never let you on the train, the desperate state, their angry lines
I prefer to think somewhere your quiver blooms
And you have gone, gone straight and true.

I don't know when I will see you
Maybe I'll never ever see you
These years seem intent on our demise
But please you know what to do
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive.
