Lyrics Between Living and Surviving - Shius

There is a line between, being alive and the survival of a human mind
In a body where we cannot thrive, we cannot move or communicate what is on our minds
Somewhere we cannot die

It's unfortunate to say, Mrs. Martha won't be on her way, on this day
She said she'd visit you but not today, not today, she has her work and she cannot stay, not today
I would have cried if I could, I would have screamed that I was hearing things, hearing things
But you won't listen when I cannot see, cannot see, cause I am nothing at all
I am no one when I cannot move

Panic ensues
And I can't feel, I can't move
The dark consumes
And I can't see, I can't see
When this is over I won't ever sleep again
When this is over I will never call you my friend
Panic ensues
And I can't feel, I can't move
The dark consumes
And I can't see, I can't see
When this is over I won't ever sleep again
When this is over I will never see you, my friend

There's a knock on the door, feels like today is different
I hear your voice as you sit down, you're stroking my hand
And yet when you say my name, I hear a man say "stop it"
He says to leave me alone, that I'm not coming back
And I just want to cry, I just want to scream
All these voices on the outside would not know how this feels
But I still want to live, I don't want to die
As the two argued I raised my voice and cried out in the dark

There is a line between, being alive and the survival of a human mind
In a body where we cannot thrive, we cannot move or communicate what is on our minds
Somewhere we cannot die

Panic ensues
And I can't feel, I can't move
The dark consumes
And I can't see, I can't see
When this is over I won't ever sleep again
When this is over I will never call you my friend
Panic ensues
And I can't feel, I can't move
The dark consumes
And I can't see, I can't see
When this is over I won't ever sleep again
When this is over I will never see you, my friend

And I hear animals outside, the soft chirping of the birds
I hear the wind as it blows, but don't feel it on my skin
It's a funny feeling, to have cried out at last
And knowing that I'm incapable, I will say my farewell
All the love that you brought, you were the only one who came
And when you talked to me, you said that you still believed
That I was coming back, I would never have doubted
But as I fall asleep, I'll say I'm sorry

As they stood up to leave, the monitor would start beeping
His signal flatlining, they ran to call his doctor
When they came back to him, she rushed to grasp his face
She barely noticed as she wept that there were tears in his eyes
There is a line between, being alive and the survival of a human mind
In a body where we cannot thrive, we cannot move or communicate what is on our minds
Somewhere we want to die

Panic ensues
And I can't feel, I can't move
The dark consumes
And I can't see, I can't see
When this is over I won't ever sleep again
When this is over I will never call you my friend
Panic ensues
And I can't feel, I can't move
The dark consumes
And I can't see, I can't see
When this is over I won't ever sleep again
When this is over I will never see you, my friend
