Emily Elbert - To Stay Alive In The World lyrics

These whitewashed walls of my apartment might* Destroy the instincts in me to survive Gotta get out & see the stars or city lights To feel the power and presence of the night To stay alive in the world To stay alive in the world To stay alive in the world that might explode We've got coal black smokestacks filling up our lungs To start the day it takes machines to turn us on In the event that our inventions fill us up Let's not forget we're still revolving ‘round the sun Any given time We'll find ourselves flying into the fire Dead at the drop of a dime Still we find we must own all that is new to us The vast and the mysterious More scared than we are curious Too fast and too furious
