about

"Survival" is the title track to the e.p of the same name. It was recorded at home mostly during the first UK lockdown between April-August 2020.

lyrics

Floating on a memory
Checking on my sanity
Scanning all around of me
Trying to keep a grip on me

Listening to a melody
To keep me from infinity
Something that will sing to me
And offer me a sanctuary

Drifting through the stratospheres
Something’s in my hemisphere
That’s making everything unclear
And hurts the ones I’m holding dear

Dropping like a sinking stone
There’s only one place left to go
It’s where I offer up my soul
To God above I know

Survival
Survival
Survival
Survival

Deep into yourself you go
Plumbing depths they’ll never know
Ever seen a place so cold
It shrivelled up your very soul?

Entertaining vivid dreams
In your waking life you reel
Through a cinematic scene
Acting out reality

While the pain you feel is real
Breathe it out your heart and heal
For there’s somewhere else to be
And you deserve some sympathy

Share it with the world and show
The places that you’ve been alone
Take some time to bare your soul
And let love unfold
Survival

Survival
Survival
Survival

Ooh, Survival
Survival
Survival

Ooh, Survival
Survival
Survival
Survival
