This Is What Surviving Looks Like - Leo Årthun
This is what surviving looks like
Not pretty, not brave
Just doing what I can
To make it through the day
I wake up tired
Go to bed the same
Nothing dramatic
Just quietly in pain
This is what surviving looks like
And it doesn't deserve applause
It's messy and lonely
And it breaks its own laws
This is what surviving looks like
No victory song
Just staying
When leaving feels strong
I don't have a plan
I don't have a dream
I just have a reason
To not disappear
Completely
Some days the reason is small
Like a song or a light
Some days it's just
Making it tonight
Survival is still effort
This is what surviving looks like
And I wish it were more
But staying alive
Is enough, and it's more
I'm still here
Still here
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
Still here
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
This is what surviving looks like
