written late 2018, refined throughout 2019. surviving.

lyrics

You think you’ve got the upper hand, but I’ve analysed and memorised your patterns of attack
I’ve tried my best to understand why you’ve nullified and left my pride amongst the bric-a-brac
You’ve tried so hard to hurt me and slowly shut me down but I know what you’re saying isn’t true
You’ve done your best to kill me and turn my friends around, but I was made stronger than you

I can feel a hot one as I peer over the edge of the gothic railroad bridge
Suicide is not an option, I’ve survived all this offence, I am strong enough for this
But if it were to kill me, that would not be weak, more like a final battle cry
The government won’t help us, we’re tired and we’re sick, but I don’t want you to die
I will survive, I will survive

When all is done and all is said, this world was not designed for folk like you or me
But if there’s only one phrase left
The hands of time will move, but they will not move me
The hands of time will move, but they will not move me
The hands of time will move, but they will not move me
