[Chorus]
Tactics for survival
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means
Different coping systems
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means
Different coping systems
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means
Different coping systems
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means
[Verse 1]
Some of us arе healing
Difficult feelings, some of us are reeling
Somе of us have gone mad though we don't seem it
Some of us are seething
Don't know what to believe in
Change like weather or season, ey
Some of us can't even
Constantly vex, just wanna get even
Some of us say things though we don't mean it
We don't mean it
Looking for logic and reason
Made peace with our demons
Know the thing but won't speak it
We don't speak and barely holding all of our pieces
Here in body but spirit is leaving
Spirit is gone though
Some of us rolling our sleeves up
Friends but we we hardly speak though
Living like we're waiting for the sequel
[Chorus]
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means
Different coping systems
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means, ey
[Verse 2]
Some of us mood is ugh
Some of us spirit got dirt
Some of us hurt, some of us extra
Some of us stressed out
Some of us so permanently let down
Some of us can't get past, we messed up
Some of us got so much that we left out
Some of us just don't wanna be left out
Some of us working, no time to rest up
Can't see how we're blessed up
Take so much to keep heads up
Heart strong, everything else soft
Some of us out on a march
Some of scared
Some of us scarce
Some of us common sense, need some starch
Some of us nice though the world is harsh, the world is harsh
Some of us hope these days won't last
Some of us can't stay long, must dash
Blame the lack of stars on the dark
Some of us really don't mind though
Some of us moving in cycles
Might not make it to ripe old
But we hope we arrive though
[Bridge]
Everybody coping different
Everybody coping different
[Chorus]
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody coping different
Different ways, different means
Different coping systems
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody coping different
What's your ways, what's your means?
Ey
[Verse 3]
Private curses, public burdens
Some of us going through the motions
Going down dark excursions
Some of us riding backseat, round and round
With all of our worst emotions
Some of us crying in private, only smiling with our eyes
Some of us haven't seen the fam in a while
Living lavish online
Some of us said we're sorry
Some of us got several archived drafts
Some of us setting off fires in the dark, living some ways off the mark
Some of us see the whole thing and just laugh
[Chorus]
And everyone's coping different
Different ways, different means
Different coping systems
What's your tactics for survival?
Everybody's coping different
What's your ways?
What's your means?
