Survival (Wide Skies Above) |
| For too long I paid lipservice to liberation |
| Let my young self be subsumed in our relations |
| Don’t think for a moment I don’t take responsibility |
| But you have to agree it was time I set myself free |
| Is it wrong to distill what we had for so many years |
| Down to the worst of us both, all of our violence and tears |
| Tell me what hurts and hate me for wanting it anyway |
| Love has driven me from you and fear won’t make me stay |
| I have stared down the face of death |
| Burned my idols till nothing was left |
| If you tried to see through my eyes |
| You would know this is how I’ll survive, the only way I can survive |
| You think I sacrificed happiness for pleasures trivial |
| I repeat my mantra no regrets so someday it will feel real |
| I am alone, there is no freedom from |
| I begged borrowed and stole, escaped your rubber room |
| Blame me for what you can |
| You are a shell of a man |
| Tell all my friends I’ve gone mad |
| Everything I could’ve wanted, I had |
| But survival isn’t just for the body |
| It’s for what will be left of me |
| All the ways you say I’m crazy |
| They form my legacy |
| You think I sacrificed happiness for pleasures trivial |
| I repeat my mantra no regrets so someday it will feel real |
| I am alone with my freedom to |
| I lied cheated and stole to get away from you |
| I am alone, wide skies above me |
| This city’s all mine, and no one to love me |
| I am alone unprotected from my worst self |
| No freedom from but I have no regrets |
| I am alone, wide skies above |
| This city’s all mine, and no one to love |
