Chuck Macak - Only the Strong Survive lyrics

[Verse 1] Am I the only one with this ache in my jaw From biting my tongue till I bleed out? And I want to believe I'm doing better than before I just can't bear the weight of my conscience anymore I've got this feeling we're all k**ing ourselves Just to face the day, just to prove we're alive So don't ask me what I'm doing with my life I'm not looking for an answer, just a better place to hide [Chorus] You hit the nail on the head when you said I was immature I'm just a kid on the inside You know there are parts of these songs that are always yours So come back and change my mind And if only the strong survive then how did I get here? My friends have dollar signs for eyes and I'm depending on fear So do it for the cash, cash, do it for the money Do it cause you're scared half to d**h of what's coming Keep your eyes on the path You know nothing ever lasts And only the strong survive [Verse 2: Anthony Jay Sanders] I walked a mile with you as just a voice in my ear It's like advice in my hands with mice and men plans You swayed me back and forth like a dull chandelier Yet I stayed centered but not better when your message became clear That I was younger than a number could say Like every digit was a rivet in my growing pains Then you ask me what I'm doing with my life How could you not know? [Chorus] You hit the nail on the head when you said I was immature I'm just a kid on the inside You know there are parts of these songs that are always yours So come back and change my mind And if only the strong survive then how did I get here? My friends have dollar signs for eyes and I'm depending on fear So do it for the cash, cash, do it for the money Do it cause you're scared half to d**h of what's coming Keep your eyes on the path You know nothing ever lasts And only the strong survive [Bridge] I've been skipping out on cla**es to write songs inside my dorm room And other days I'm too afraid to get out of my bed Purple marks below my eyes reveal the image of defeat Will you still say that it's worth it if I've given up on me Am I the only one? Am I the only one? Am I the only one? Am I the only one? [Chorus] You hit the nail on the head when you said I was immature I'm just a kid on the inside You know there are parts of these songs that are always yours So come back and change my mind And if only the strong survive then how did I get here? My friends have dollar signs for eyes and I'm depending on fear So do it for the cash, cash, do it for the money Do it cause you're scared half to d**h of what's coming Keep your eyes on the path You know nothing ever lasts And only the strong survive
