Of Mice & Men - How To Survive Lyrics

Of Mice & Men Lyrics

"How To Survive"

They look down from their ivory tower
At a world they never really knew
They light their torches and draw their arrows
They're on the hunt, and tonight the prey is you

But I can show you what it's like

What it's like to be hated
What it's like to be degraded
What it's like to be a target
But have skin as thick as steel
I'll show you how to bring chaos
I'll show you how to be dangerous
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive

Now you've seen from behind the veil
Kings, knights and pawns all bleed the same
I refuse to be one of the fallen
I refuse to be one of the slain

And I can show you what it's like

What it's like to be hated
What it's like to be degraded
What it's like to be a target
But have skin as thick as steel
I'll show you how to bring chaos
I'll show you how to be dangerous
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive

I'll show you how to survive
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive

I refuse to be one of the fallen
I refuse to be one of the slain

And I can show you what it's like

What it's like to be hated
What it's like to be degraded
What it's like to be a target
But have skin as thick as steel
I'll show you how to bring chaos
I'll show you how to be dangerous
In a world that teaches an eye for an eye
I'll show you how to survive
