Lyrics
0:00Ooh ooh
0:03Ooh
0:09Once upon a time that's how it all begins
0:12With water bone blood and skin
0:13Two open eyes here we go again
0:17The start is always innocent
0:18And then comes life Life
0:20Yeah then comes pain
0:22Sun is out then it starts to rain
0:25But the sun comes back again
0:28We open the door choices must be made
0:32And we start hoping for more 'cause how much more can we take
0:37Don't know what I'm living for and I can't even explain myself
0:43Got nothing else to say
0:45Got nothing else to say
0:48Acting like we're fine when we're walking a tightrope
0:53Start losing our minds trying to break the cycle
0:57And sometimes you cry while you're holding the high note
1:03And that's what I know of survival
1:07That's what I know of survival
1:09Yeah 'cause it feels like a waste
1:11Know we need different but we struggle to change
1:13We end up staying the same
1:14Make a effort for a couple of days
1:16Then turn around and see we're stuck in our ways
1:18I started slipping away
1:19Saw what happened when I started to break
1:21Spent too much time tryna work out what to say
1:23Couldn't help hiding my face
1:24Hid my spirit but not anymore
1:26'Cause I stopped running and decided to stay
1:27We open the door choices must be made
1:32And we start hoping for more 'cause how much more can we take
1:36Don't know what I'm living for and I can't even explain myself
1:42Got nothing else to say
1:44Got nothing else to say
1:47Acting like we're fine when we're walking a tightrope
1:52Start losing our minds trying to break the cycle
1:57And sometimes you cry while you're holding the high note
2:02And that's what I know What I know of survival
2:07'Cause when water ain't wine sometimes it feels like it's final
2:12But this life is mine so I'm gonna do it right
2:16And maybe sometimes I cry while I'm holding the high note
2:22But that's what I know of survival
2:26That's what I know of survival
2:32Ooh
2:33Ooh
2:37Once upon a time my people came on ships
2:40Tied up in chains there was no choice to it
2:42And now I write watching the pages rip
2:45Must admit I can't help wondering
2:47Wondering why I'm stuck on my own suffering?
2:52Hmm mmm
2:55What do I know of survival?
2:57What do I know of survival?
3:00What do I know of survival?
3:02What do I know of survival?
3:05What do I know of survival?
3:07What do I know of survival?
3:08What do I know? What do I know?
3:13What do I know?
3:15What do I know of survival?
3:18What do I know
3:20What do I know? What do I know?
3:25What do I know of survival?
