I been stuck in survival mode, I can’t breathe right
Living off pain just to feel alive
Every step feel like a loaded fight
But I’m still here in the dead of night

Survival mode, yeah it changed my soul
Turned my heart into a heavy load
I learned to walk with a broken code
Now I don’t know how to let it go

I woke up tired before the day even started
Mind overloaded, emotions departed
Had to grow up where love wasn’t steady
Smiles were rare, but the pain stayed ready

Trust got thin like a cracked foundation
Every bond felt like a calculation
I learned quick, don’t depend on hands
‘Cause they let go when you need a stand

So I built walls just to feel control
But the walls got heavy on my soul
Now I’m trapped in the thing I made
A fortress that never lets me escape

I been living just to make it through
Not living life like I’m meant to do
Every scar got a story I hide
Every fear that I swallow inside

Survival mode, it kept me alive
But it took what it means to thrive
Now I’m fighting to feel again
Not just survive to the bitter end

Survival mode, yeah I know it well
It’s a quiet kind of living hell
I breathe, I move, but I don’t feel free
Just echoes of what I used to be

Survival mode, I’m breaking slow
Learning places I never go
If I fall, I don’t stay down long
But I wonder where I went wrong

I stopped crying ‘cause it didn’t help
Started blaming it all on myself
Every failure felt like a mark
Carved too deep in a fading spark

Had to laugh when I wanted to scream
Had to kill off every dream
Just to function, just to exist
Just to pass through a life like this

But even silence gets too loud
When your mind won’t let you out
And I swear I hear my name
From the past like it’s still the same

I been living just to make it through
Not living life like I’m meant to do
Every scar got a story I hide
Every fear that I swallow inside

Survival mode, it kept me alive
But it stole every reason to try
Now I’m reaching for somethin’ more
Than just surviving behind closed doors

Survival mode, I feel it fade
Like a shadow that I once made
Still it lingers but not as strong
Like I’m finally where I belong

Survival mode, I’m shiftin’ out
Learning what I’m about
Not just pain, not just war
I am somethin’ worth more

Yeah I bent but I didn’t break
Every loss was a step I take
Now I see what I couldn’t see
I was more than what they did to me

I’m not stuck in the same old loop
I’m not chained to the same old truth
If I survived what I survived
Then I can learn how to feel alive

So I’m tearing down every wall
Even if it hurts to fall
‘Cause freedom don’t come from hiding pain
It comes when you face the rain

I been living just to make it through
Now I’m learning what I can do
Every scar is a part of me
But it don’t define what I’ll be

Survival mode, I’m stepping out
Finding what life is about
Not just breathin’, not just time
But finally claiming what is mine

I survived… yeah
But I’m not staying there
I’m walking out of survival…
Into life
