Survive (Too Poor to Live)
I don't have the luxury of living
The cost of it is too rich for my blood
All I can afford is just the struggle
Scraping for the crumbs in the rain and mud
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
You don't know what it's like to face my demons
They drag me underwater to make me drown
Everyone around can't see the hurt I hide so well
They only see a man who doesn't frown
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
I've tried so many times to hold a job down
And all it did was sabotage my health
Nobody believed the frantic mess inside my head
It isn't an excuse
I wish it was
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
Now all of my days are spent in the moment
Still fighting off these demons in my head
It's a hell I dwell
But it's a hell I know so well
Surviving the best I can 'til I am fed
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
I fight like hell
So I survive
I know I'll see the sun before I'm dead
The cost of it is too rich for my blood
All I can afford is just the struggle
Scraping for the crumbs in the rain and mud
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
You don't know what it's like to face my demons
They drag me underwater to make me drown
Everyone around can't see the hurt I hide so well
They only see a man who doesn't frown
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
I've tried so many times to hold a job down
And all it did was sabotage my health
Nobody believed the frantic mess inside my head
It isn't an excuse
I wish it was
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
Now all of my days are spent in the moment
Still fighting off these demons in my head
It's a hell I dwell
But it's a hell I know so well
Surviving the best I can 'til I am fed
I hide away but I don't hide
Too poor to live so I survive
Until the day I see the sun rise
I fight like hell
So I survive
I fight like hell
So I survive
I know I'll see the sun before I'm dead
