Survive

I'm over that hill, I can see to the other side
been caught with my guard down, I'm starting to realize
through all of the moments I wondered if I'd survive
one more day filled with aching I am still alive
I'm still alive…
when I found out why it was a surprise
if I told you how, I cleared my eyes
it was four in the morning and I'd failed to capitalize
on gifts I'd been given to see through the shit and the lies
so that was the last time I'd listen to people I despise
and it seemed like the right time to hang my hopes
upon the skies
upon the skies
when I found out why it was a surprise
if I told you how, I cleared my eyes
when I found out why it was a surprise
if I told you how, I cleared my eyes
and looking further, I had to take the blame
for things that I made happen, I'm really not the same…
and looking further, I had to take the blame
for things that I made happen, I'm really not the same…
arriving this late has it let-downs and disappointing signs
if living was easy I'd have to find another source of fright
I'm over that hill, I can see to the other side
and it seems like the right time to hang my hopes
upon the skies
upon the skies…
when I found out why it was a surprise
if I told you how, I cleared my eyes
when I found out why it was a surprise
if I told you how, I cleared my eyes
