I’ll Survive

Now you can open your eyes or let it slip away
Are you still dreaming of your yesterday
Or what you still have to say

The night is young for everybody else
They say it’s something you should want
As if violence or tragedy could ever get you off

Now the night is frozen and I can’t feel my arms
Wrapped around the empty spaces in which there’s no telling right from wrong

I’ll survive by running fast away from the light
In your eyes, in your eyes, I’ve seen the darkest skies
And when you’ve lost all sight of what you’re leaving behind
Only then, only then, will you see stars at night

They’re telling me to walk away
But there’s this ghost of passing judgement telling me that I should stay

Is this my punishment?
I just can’t circumvent
These bad habits, I can’t shake them
They’re leaving me for dead, I hate them

I’ll survive by running fast away from the light
In your eyes, in your eyes, I’ve seen the darkest skies
And when you’ve lost all sight of what you’re leaving behind
Only then, only then, will you see stars at night

And when the sun comes up, I’ll be by your side
It’s never felt so right to not know where we are

I know that there’s a place where we’ll all be safe
I can see it in my head
I’ll find that place one day
But till then

I’ll survive by running fast away from the light
In your eyes, in your eyes, I’ve seen the darkest skies
And when you’ve lost all sight of what you’re leaving behind
Only then, only then, will you see stars at night

You’ll see the stars at night
You’ll see the stars at night
