RISE AGAINST LYRICS - Survive

"Survive"



Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck

Feet sometimes on solid ground, 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, (who we are) has been less than kind

So take a number, (who we are) stand in line

We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt

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, (who we are) has been less than kind

So take a number, (who we are) stand in line

We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt

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)

(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, (who we are) has been less than kind

So take a number, (who we are) stand in line

We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt

But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are



(Who we are)

It's what makes us who we are

(Who we are)

Makes us who we are

(Who we are)

It's what makes us who we are

(Who we are)
