Survival

Ooh Ooh Ooh Once upon a time, that's how it all begins With water, bone, blood and skin Two open eyes, here we go again The start is always innocent And then comes life (Life) Yeah, then comes pain Sun is out then it starts to rain But the sun comes back again We open the door, choices must be made And we start hoping for more, 'cause how much more can we take Don't know what I'm living for, and I can't even explain myself Got nothing else to say Got nothing elsе to say Acting like we're finе, when we're walking a tightrope Start losing our minds, trying to break the cycle And sometimes you cry, while you're holding the high note And that's what I know of survival (That's what I know of survival) Yeah, 'cause it feels like a waste Know we need different, but we struggle to change We end up staying the same Make a effort for a couple of days Then turn around and see we're stuck in our ways I started slipping away Saw what happened when I started to break Spent too much time tryna work out what to say Couldn't help hiding my face Hid my spirit, but not anymore 'Cause I stopped running and decided to stay We open the door, choices must be made And we start hoping for more, 'cause how much more can we take Don't know what I'm living for, and I can't even explain myself Got nothing else to say Got nothing else to say Acting like we're fine, when we're walking a tightrope Start losing our minds, trying to break the cycle And sometimes you cry, while you're holding the high note And that's what I know of survival (I know) 'Cause when water ain't wine, sometimes it feels like it's final But this life is mine, so I'm gonna do it right And maybe sometimes I cry, while I'm holding the high note But that's what I know of survival (That's what I know of survival) Ooh, ooh Once upon a time, my people came on ships Tied up in chains, there was no choice to it And now I write, watching the pages rip Must admit I can't help wondering Wondering why I'm stuck on my own suffering?
