Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It stalks for a fight
And now they're drawing they're lives
And you know it's not right
When you're stuck picking sides
[Verse 2]
It's the invisible enemy
[Verse 3]
If I can't see it then how can I believe it?
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
[Verse 4]
And it stalks for a fight
Between the heart and the mind
And you know it's not right
When you're stuck picking sides
[Verse 5]
It's the invisible enemy
[Verse 6]
If I can't see it then how can I believe it?
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
[Verse 7]
When fear and pain suffocate
Tell me how will you live?
Will you disclose or will you break?
Tell me how will you live?
[Verse 8]
How will you live
How will you live
How will you live
[Verse 9]
If I can't see it then how can I believe it?
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
How will you live?
[Verse 10]
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how, tell me how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
How will you live, how will you live?
