[00:00.053] Ooh
[00:03.593] Ooh
[00:07.471]
[00:08.831] Once upon a time, that's how it all begins
[00:12.152] With water, bone, blood and skin
[00:13.935] Two open eyes, here we go again
[00:17.151] The start is always innocent
[00:18.827] And then comes life (life)
[00:20.791] Yeah, then comes pain
[00:22.423] Sun is out then it starts to rain
[00:25.581] But the sun comes back again
[00:27.818]
[00:28.264] We open the door, choices must be made
[00:32.434] And we start hoping for more, cause how much more can we take
[00:37.420] Don't know what I'm living for, and I can't even explain myself
[00:43.046] Got nothing else to say
[00:45.564] Got nothing else to say
[00:47.049]
[00:48.055] Acting like we're fine, when we're walking a tightrope
[00:52.866] Start losing our minds, trying to break the cycle
[00:57.833] And sometimes you cry, while you're holding the high note
[01:03.082] And that's what I know of survival (that's what I know of survival)
[01:07.790]
[01:09.763] Yeah, 'cause it feels like a waste
[01:11.312] Know we need different, but we struggle to change
[01:13.163] We end up staying the same
[01:14.483] Make a effort for a couple of days
[01:16.210] Then turn around and see we're stuck in our ways
[01:18.106] I started slipping away
[01:19.352] Saw what happened when I started to break
[01:21.323] Spent too much time tryna work out what to say
[01:23.077] Couldn't help hiding my face
[01:24.260] Hid my spirit, but not anymore
[01:26.213] 'Cause I stopped running and decided to stay
[01:27.050]
[01:27.906] We open the door, choices must be made
[01:31.884] And we start hoping for more, cause how much more can we take
[01:36.874] Don't know what I'm living for, and I can't even explain myself
[01:42.412] Got nothing else to say
[01:44.863] Got nothing else to say
[01:46.381]
[01:47.258] Acting like we're fine, when we're walking a tightrope
[01:51.983] Start losing our minds, trying to break the cycle
[01:57.082] And sometimes you cry, while you're holding the high note
[02:02.373] And that's what I know (what I know) of survival
[02:07.038] 'Cause when water ain't wine, sometimes it feels like it's final
[02:12.011] But this life is mine, so I'm gonna do it right
[02:16.463] And maybe sometimes I cry, while I'm holding the high note
[02:22.501] But that's what I know of survival (that's what I know of survival)
[02:26.975]
[02:28.449] Ooh
[02:31.831] Ooh
[02:37.107] Once upon a time, my people came on ships
[02:40.432] Tied up in chains, there was no choice to it
[02:42.292] And now I write, watching the pages rip
[02:45.318] Must admit I can't help wondering
[02:47.220] Wondering why I'm stuck on my own suffering?
[02:52.169] Hmm, mmm
[02:55.392] What do I know of survival? (What do I know of survival?)
[03:00.658] What do I know of survival? (What do I know of survival?)
[03:05.792] What do I know of survival? (What do I know of survival?)
[03:08.411] What do I know? What do I know? (What do I know of survival?)
[03:13.402] What do I know?
[03:15.630] What do I know of survival?
[03:18.230] What do I know? What do I know?
[03:23.300] What do I know?
[03:25.344] What do I know of survival?
