No matter where I go
There follows my-y old shadow
And every road I take
It’s engra-aved with dismay
I walk upon every life
And each one doe-esn’t satisfy
It may take forever to find
My only wi-ill to survive
No matter what happens
There follows u-use of weapons
And every government
Gets wor-rse due to humans
People just cant accept
The individu-uality
Each man has his own belief
sometimes shu-unned by society
It may take forever to find
My only wi-i-i-ill to survive
Survive!
Survive!
Survive...
Survival!
You say survival of the fittest
I say to mind your own business
You see life as a big competition
I take advantage of revolution!
Survive!
Survive!
Survive...
Survival!
It's not about serving the bible!
Nor is it a battle field!
Though every year i step on a land mine,
I manage to be my own shield!
I'm still shot at by all these limitations,
How the fuck is this freedom?!
And to think every one of these brick walls are hand made
by heartless vicious cannibals!
Its amazing to see how the human race has come to be!
Survive!
Survive!
Survive with the freedom of your mind!
For within your knowledge there is a lot to find!
Try to realize that you are not blind!
Survive!
Survive!
Survive with you instinctual beheavior!
We are just animals with one field superior!
Think about the meaning of life, its ulterior!
Then you will be able to dodge all the land mines
and be bulletproof individuals!
Survive!
Survive!
Survive...
Survival!
When is it ok to fly-ay-ay
Beyond, into a galaxy?
Made up of every flavor
Every color beyond imagination
Our minds will be our savior
Thus avoiding all exploitation.
When is it ok to YELL OUT INTO THE CROWD!
EVERYTHING ON YOUR MIND (person one)
I WANT TO SAY I DON’T HAVE A NAME (person two)
I WANT TO SAY SCREW ALL THE GRADES (person three)
THEY ARE JUDGEMENTS OF OUR UKNOWN (person four)
WE ARE CAPABLE OF MORE THEN WHAT WE HAVE SHOWN (person five)
WE ARE ALL PHILOSOPHERS (person six)
WE MUST UNDERSTAND OUR NATURE (person seven)
KNOWLEDGE DOESN’T HAVE A LABEL (person eight)
THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THEN A FANCY TABLE (person nine)
I WANT TO LIVE LIKE A HUMAN (person ten)
BUT ITS HARD WITH ALL THESE LIMITATIONS…
Survive!
Survive!
Survive...
Survival!
Survival!
Survival!
Our minds were not born with a constitution!
Don't blame society for your problems!
Don't say there is such a thing as corruption!
Survive!
Survive!
Survive...
Survival!
["The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves"] <--speak not sing {in serious voice}
Survive!
Survive!
Survive!
People will dream of the meaning of life,
Wonder and wish and hope what will never be.
Its just so obvious yet hidden within our minds,
For the meaning of life is held
Within dreams themselves.

I write lyrics too, sometimes. These two lines stand out as brilliant to me:
"Though every year I step on a land mine,
I manage to be my own shield!"

I love the realism of this write,it's like standing there in the crowd yourself,the stutter when one cries...Great job penning this one...
Good Luck and thanks for entering
