Claw My Way Out

Drop

Watch me claw my way out

Watch me claw my way out

Verse 1

Seven years of walking sideways

Ducking under every camera

They memorized my face

I changed my whole name

Traded one alley for another alley

Every mirror shows a stranger wearing my skin

And the ones I ran beside

Still call me by the old one

Pre-Chorus

They knock at midnight

They knock at dawn

They ask about a man I buried long ago

Chorus

I fight to stay alive still

Every single morning

I fight to stay alive still

While the past keeps scoring

I left it all behind

But it never left me

I fight to stay alive still

Every single morning

Drop

I fight I fight I fight to breathe

I fight I fight I fight to breathe

Verse 2

No record on the paper

But the paper don't show scars

Neighbors watching curtains

Twitching when I park

I saw more of the dark than most would ever say out loud

So I climb toward the light with my knuckles split and proud

Pre-Chorus

They knock at midnight

They knock at dawn

They ask about a man I buried long ago

Chorus

I fight to stay alive still

Every single morning

I fight to stay alive still

While the past keeps scoring

I left it all behind

But it never left me

I fight to stay alive still

Every single morning

Bridge

Outgrown outgrown outgrown

But it knows where I sleep

Outgrown outgrown outgrown

And it's patient and it's deep

I strive I strive I strive

To be better than before

Every eye upon my back

Every locked and watching door

Chorus

I fight to stay alive still

Every single morning

I fight to stay alive still

While the past keeps scoring

I left it all behind

But it never left me

I fight to stay alive still

Every single morning

Drop

Still still still

Still still still

Watch me claw my way out
