For the Sake of Living

from Under the Weight of Water by The Sound of Machines

lyrics

Now, for the sake of living
We stay off the street
Now, for the sake of living
There’s a light on in the hall
And plastic on the sheets
But who’s to say we’ll last half that long
Who’s to say we’ll last half that long

You can put me down for caring
At least an hour or more
Push this thing to the limit
Go full tilt
Who’s to say we’ll last half that long
Who’s to say we’ll last half that long

It’s for the sake of living
The sake of living

This is where you end and you begin
Stretched apart like roadmaps onto skin
I’m still amazed at the way we save our words
Rolling like waves over days
Over bones in the ocean
For the sake of living
