Die to Survive - Metal

(yeah) Another bill comes in the mail today

Another family trying to find a way

Working overtime just to stay afloat While the rich keep sailing on

a different boat

The shelves are full but the pockets are bare

People losing hope, breathing polluted air...

Dreams get traded for a second job

While the headlines say everything's solved

We're running in circles,

chasing the lie

Holding on through another night

The cost of living goes up as people die to survive Trying

to keep their hopes and their dreams alive Every dollar earned feels

farther away And tomorrow looks harder than yesterday The cost of living

goes up as people die to survive We're holding on with everything

inside But the human spirit refuses to die When the world keeps

raising the price of it all

Single mothers counting every dime Retirees watching savings disappear with time

Young men and women carrying debt like chains

Wondering if they'll ever break away

Neighbors helping neighbors make it through

Sharing what they have when there's little to lose

In the struggle there's a truth we find The strongest hearts are

forged in the hard times We're battered by storms,

but still we fight

Searching for hope beyond the night

The cost of living goes up as people die to survive Trying

to keep their hopes and their dreams alive

Every dollar earned feels farther away And tomorrow looks harder than yesterday

The cost of living goes up as people die to survive We're

holding on with everything inside But the human spirit refuses to die

When the world keeps raising the price of it all

Maybe one day we'll remember again

That people matter more than profits win

A nation's strength isn't measured by gold But by how it cares

for the young and old No matter how heavy the burden becomes

We'll keep standing together as one

(standing together as one)

The cost of living goes up as people die to survive Yet

there's a fire they can never deprive Through every struggle,

through every scar We keep reaching for who we are

The cost of living goes up as people die to survive But

we won't let our humanity die

We'll keep fighting, standing tall through it all When the world keeps

raising the price of it all

The cost of living rises day by day

But hope is one thing they can't take away

(can't

take away)
