Keep Me Alive

Red streaks on this blackened floor
You've played this game before
You can try to shift the blame
This is isn't chess, you're playing my card game
My wings might be wax
But I've built a city at my back

This is the new game
These are the new rules
I wanna hear you beg

Keep me alive
Whoa
Keep me alive
Whoa
Keep me alive

I've played this game so long
Just wanting to belong
I learned my lessons the hard way
No one ever meets you part way
I can't let my legacy
Be a series of broken symphonies

Just wanna leave something behind
Until then

Keep me alive
Whoa
Keep me alive
Whoa
Keep me alive

I hear those sirens blaring
Threatening everything that I ever made
I bet my cards on the wrong game
I give my trust, I get betrayed
We're far from sunrise, it's not your turn
Just call me Icarus, 'cause I can't take another burn

I won't let go, but you have to hold on
Just take my hand, I'll

Keep you alive
Whoa
Keep you alive
Whoa
Keep you alive

Woah
Keep you alive
Whoa
Keep me alive
