SURVIVAL STRATEGY

Intro

Life keeps dealing cards without asking who you are

One day you can touch the sky, next you're drowning in the dark

Still I walk through every storm, through the cold and endless night

’Cause I know after the darkness there will always be a light

Verse 1

Rain is falling on the streets, neon shadows fill my mind

Everybody chasing something while their souls get left behind

In my pocket broken dreams, but my heart still burns with fire

Even when the world tried breaking me — I kept climbing higher

People change their faces faster than the smoke up in the air

Some were only standing with you when success was always there

Now I’m staring at the skyline, hear the city breathing loud

Life keeps throwing heavy dices, but I’m still standing proud

Pre-Chorus

Fear can’t stop me anymore

I survived too much alone

Every scar became a sign

That my spirit’s still alive

Chorus

Life is dealing cards — and I’m playing till the end

Sometimes losing everything, sometimes rising once again

You can’t choose the road you walk when fate controls the game

But you still can keep on fighting even when you feel the pain

Life is dealing cards — black and gold beneath the smoke

Every fall can teach you more than empty words were ever told

Even when the light was fading through the darkest nights I lived

I learned how to keep surviving and become who I am meant to be

Verse 2

I remember all those nights when the world closed every door

When the silence screamed much louder than the city ever could

But inside a voice kept saying: “Don’t give up another day”

So I gathered all my pieces and I built myself again

I don’t need those fake emotions, people acting for a show

I prefer a few real souls over crowds that never know

Everybody carries burdens, everybody fights alone

And I turned my scars and struggles into power of my own

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow changes everything

Maybe tomorrow brings a sign

But tonight I’m still fighting

’Cause this universe is mine

Final Chorus

Life is dealing cards — sometimes every move can hurt

But even in the silence I still feel my heartbeat first

I never gave away my dreams through all the hardest times I faced

’Cause the strongest kind of power rises when there’s nothing left

Life is dealing cards — and I’ll play until the end

With my head held high I walk even when my strength is spent

And no matter what this cold and empty world may take from me

As long as my heart keeps beating — I’ll become my destiny
