Survive Lyrics by Jeff Carl

2016

[Verse 1]
I’ve been all broken, sad of myself
Outwardly Heaven but inwardly Hell
Askin’ for open but answerin’ shells
I am weak
I am weak
[Verse 2]
Yesterday’s long gone, tomorrow’s too late
Today is my swan song if I do not take
Control of my demons, they all have my face
I am weak
I am weak
[Chorus]
But I wanna change my mind
I think that it is time
How can I survive
If I’m not alive?
[Verse 3]
I smoked with the notion that I could escape
Got lost on the ocean of all that I drank
Life in slow motion, so I didn’t have to think
I am weak
I am weak
[Verse 4]
Been lookin’ for lovin’, but all I’ve done is pour
All of myself into holes in the floor
I got in the boat, but I didn’t have the oars
I am weak
I am weak
[Chorus]
But I wanna change my mind
I think that it is time
How can I survive
If I’m not alive?
[Bridge]
Oh, these years have had costs that I can’t afford to pay
Gotta swallow the loss and try better today
Friends who I’ve wronged with my silencing ways
Love that has gone, ‘cause I turned it to waste
Parents who’ve longed for their son to find peace
Skies with no sun and no color just gray
[Outro]
I wanna change my mind
I think that it is time
I wanna survive
I am alive
