Lyrics for Survive
Somewhere between "happy" And "total fucking wreck" Feet sometimes on solid ground And sometimes at the edge To spend your waking moments Simply killing time Is to give up on your hopes and dreams To give up on your Life for you has been less than kind (Who we are) So take a number stand in line (Who we are) We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt (Who we are) But how we survive (Who we are) Is what makes us who we are An obvious disinterest A barely managed smile A deep nod in agreement A status quo exile I shirk my obligations I miss all your deadlines I excel at quitting early And fucking up my life Life for you has been less than kind (Who we are) So take a number, stand in line (Who we are) We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt (Who we are) But how we survive (Who we are) Is what makes us who we are All smiles and sunshine A perfect world on a perfect day Everything always works out I have never felt so fucking great All smiles and sunshine A perfect world on a perfect day Everything always works out I have never felt so great (Life isn't like this, life isn't like this) (Life isn't like this, life isn't like this) But life isn't like this, life isn't like this (Life isn't like this, life isn't like this) Are we verging on an answer (Life isn't like this) Or fucking up ourā Life for you has been less than kind (Who we are) So take a number, stand in line (Who we are) We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt (Who we are) But how we survive (Who we are) Is what makes us who we are (Who we are) That's what makes us who we are (Who we are) What makes us who we are (Who we are) That's what makes us who we are (Who we are)
