[Verse 1] Alarm bell howls through the gloom Stone-cold floor, shadows in my room Candle burns on a torn-up plan One more spell, one more stand [Pre-Chorus] I take the weight, I take the flame I turn the drag into a chain One slow breath, then I rise With the thunder in my eyes [Chorus] Surviving the daily In the smoke and the fire Surviving the daily On a tight-wound wire Step by step, I walk through Night by night, I break on through Surviving the daily That’s what I do [Verse 2] Sirens sing and the streets don’t sleep Debts in a stack, but I dig deep Name on the wall, hand on the sign I show up hard, one cursed at a time [Pre-Chorus] I take the weight, I take the flame I turn the drag into a chain One slow breath, then I rise With the thunder in my eyes [Chorus] Surviving the daily In the smoke and the fire Surviving the daily On a tight-wound wire Step by step, I walk through Night by night, I break on through Surviving the daily That’s what I do [Bridge] When the sky turns black And the storm winds blow I brace my spine I will not go One more oath One more trial I was forged In this dark exile [Final Chorus] Surviving the daily In the smoke and the fire Surviving the daily On a tight-wound wire Step by step, I walk through Night by night, I break on through Surviving the daily That’s what I do Surviving the daily Watch me burn through
