White Knuckles Songtext
von Alter Bridge

Are you still lost tonight?
Living but dead inside
This is a proclamation
This is a call to rise

Are you abused, alone?
Walking with broken bones
If you feel you′ve been forgotten
Let this song guide you home

We are the disillusioned, we've been left wanting more
Before every aspiration hits the floor

Hold on for your life
All we feel is so far from alive
The damned are done believing
And the cursed can dream no more
So hold on for your life
Because only the strong survive


They tell you what you should be
They sell you their plastic dreams
Opinions are all provided
But nothing is what it seems

I dare you to take control
′Cause empty are hands and bruised are the souls
Of those who show no resistance
And those who are weak below

We are the disenchanted who die with each passing day
No one here understands us, so I say

Hold on for your life
All we feel is so far from alive
The damned are done believing
And the cursed can dream no more
So hold on for your life
Because only the strong survive

How will it feel
To live a lie until your dying day?
Where nothing is real
As we sacrifice, bending until we break
It's been revealed
Hold on for your life, dreams are not theirs to take
Dreams are not theirs to take, oh


Hold on for your life
All we feel is so far from alive
The damned are done believing
And the cursed can dream no more
So hold on for your life
Because only the strong
I said only the strong survive
