Lyrics

It's the way they know me
Before they have asked my name
It's having skin like armour
Thick enough to hold the pain
It's the way that this grief
Made me stronger 'til I cannot break
Got a cheaper price on
Stolen goods unclaimed
Funny, when I lose, you keep on complaining
Then write the new rules, just to be bent on breaking
Told me that I choose the noose that you've been making
Then I need to prove I'm worthy of the saving
It's how the way my blood they drew
Been watering it 'til it grew
So each time I take the fruit
I'm feasting on my own abuse
It's how the way my blood they drew
Been watering it 'til it grew
So each time I take the fruit
I'm feasting on my own abuse
Survival ain't that beautiful
Survival ain't that beautiful
Survival ain't that beautiful
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
I’ve just made it look this good for you
Tell me, how do you speak
Words that you don't know exist?
How somebody forgive
What the other don't admit?
Tell me how to explain
What you were taught to forget?
How the wounds gonna heal
When attacks ain't over yet?
Funny, when I lose, you keep on complaining
Then write the new rules, just to be bent on breaking
Told me that I choose the noose that you've been making
Then you need to prove I'm worthy of the saving
It's how the way my blood they drew
Been watering it 'til it grew
So each time I take the fruit
I'm feasting on my own abuse
It's how the way my blood they drew
Been watering it 'til it grew
So each time I take the fruit
I'm feasting on my own abuse
Survival ain't that beautiful
Survival ain't that beautiful
Survival ain't that beautiful
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
I’ve just made it look this good for you
(Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
