[INTRO — Soft Violin / Ambient Reverb] I move slow… But still I win… Still I win… (Yeah… yeah…) I’ve been down… But I rise again… [VERSE 1] I move slow, But still I win. I never starve, I feast again. Keep a list Inside my bag— Loose change… From what I had. Survival mode, I know the code. Resurrect me From this road. I give my all, I do my best, Tryna do right, Give my heart rest. (Ooooh… my heart…) Give my heart rest… [CHORUS — Layered Background Vocals] I swim with sharks, Or I drown… I’ve been lost, But I’m still found. You can silence me, But I won’t stay down… Won’t stay down… (No, no, no…) I move slow, But still I win. Fall apart— Then rise again. Survival mode… (Survival… survival…) Survival mode… I’m alive… I’m alive… I’m alive… [VERSE 2] Some seek weakness, Call it trust. Vulnerability— Turn it to dust. Gullible? That’s what they say. Use your kindness To get their way. Days and nights Of being silenced… No more time For quiet violence. I learned the difference Between love and control. Some hold your body— Some try to hold your soul. (Ooooh… don’t hold me…) Don’t hold me… [CHORUS — Bigger / Harmonies] I swim with sharks, Or I drown… I’ve been lost, But I’m still found. You can silence me, But I won’t stay down… Won’t stay down… (I won’t… I won’t…) I move slow, But still I win. Fall apart— Then rise again. Survival mode… (Survival…) Survival mode… I’m alive… I’m alive… I’m alive… [EMOTIONAL BRIDGE — Violin Builds / Rock Drums Enter] Sometimes I wanna scream… (Scream… scream…) Sometimes I wanna hide… (Hide…) Sometimes I feel lovable… Sometimes I gotta guard my life. I’ve been soft… I’ve been hard… I’ve been broken… Still got scars. But every tear That touched my face Couldn’t steal My strength away. I rise… (I rise…) I rise… (Higher… higher…) From the ashes… I survive… [FINAL CHORUS — Full Vocal Layers / Rock-Soul Climax] I swim with sharks, Or I drown… I’ve been lost, But I’m still found. You can silence me, But I won’t stay down… Won’t stay down… (Never… never…) I move slow, But still I win. Fall apart— Then rise again. Survival mode… (Survival mode…) Survival mode… I’m alive… Still alive… (Still alive…) Still alive… (Ohhhhhh…) [OUTRO — Violin / Reverb / Fading Harmonies] I move slow… But still I win… Still I win… Still I win… I never starve… I feast… I don’t drown… I swim… (Ooooh…) Survival mode… (Fade) I’m still here… I’m still here… I’m still… alive…
