Define "Alive"


what if i told you they didn't want to die

you tell me your innocent

and it makes me want to cry 

when i see your cognitive dissonance 

 

your heart aches at the sight 

but you won't think twice

holding to your beliefs with all your might

listen to this advice

 

they were put on this world with not for us

who are you to decide otherwise

stop betraying their trust

and forcing them to meet their premature demise

 

"they are not like us! it's just a trend!"

is this what you hold true?

because i'd still be your friend

even if you bled blue
