I'll survive

Can you tell me a story without any words
Then mold me misshapen from the soaking dirt?
Keep feeding me courage that I don’t deserve
So I don’t feel broken like I have no worth
My apathy’s growing and I never learn
I’m spending this token so I don’t get burned

And it seems like I’m never gonna make this feel right
I’m drowning in a wave of insight
I’ll never be the one to breathe a sigh but I’ll survive
Storm clouds, even though the sun has gone down
Negative emotions inbound
I’ll never be the one to make a sound but I’ll survive

Can you whittle me a token of strength and rebirth?
Can you wrap it in linen and a stolen curse?
Take strength from the knowledge that this always hurts
Now keep your eyes open so it won’t get worse
My apathy’s growing and I never learn
I’m spending this token so I don’t get burned

And it seems like I’m never gonna make this feel right
I’m drowning in a wave of insight
I’ll never be the one to breathe a sigh but I’ll survive
Storm clouds, even though the sun has gone down
Negative emotions inbound
I’ll never be the one to make a sound but I’ll survive

I can’t make you feel alive
(And you know I don’t regret it, you know I don’t regret it)
I can’t make you feel alive
(And you know I don’t regret it, you know I don’t regret it)
