Survive - edited
Somewhere between happy
and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground
sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments
simply counting time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams
to give up on your...
Life for you has been less than kind
So take a number stand in line
We've all been sorry,
we've all been hurt
But how we survive 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
So take a number stand in line
We've all been sorry,
we've all been hurt
But how we survive 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)
(Life isn't like this) 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
Or fucking up our...
Life for you has been less than kind
So take a number stand in line
We've all been sorry
we've all been hurt
But how we survive is what makes us who we are
That's what makes us who we are
What makes us who we are
That's what makes us who we are
and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground
sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments
simply counting time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams
to give up on your...
Life for you has been less than kind
So take a number stand in line
We've all been sorry,
we've all been hurt
But how we survive is what makes us who we are

Everything always works out
