"Survivor" lyrics

"Survivor"

Survivor, you made it out a liar
What does it take to cross the finish line?

I am better than this
But I can't put it to rest. I must invest, I do confess
So I say "I will betray. It's the only way,"
'Till I make it through the fire. Now I'm a liar

One lie at a time, and watch morality dull and redefine
It's not all black and white
One lie at a time, ignore the voice inside and how you'll be just fine
That voice is just delusion

No, is it nothing?
Is it a means to an end?
I watch them reign with those silver tongues
So how long 'till we fight fire with fire?

Survivor, you made it out a liar
What does it take to cross the finish line?
Survivor, you made it out a liar
Drown or deceive. It's become a disease

We've made it this far
So what's the use in turning around?
Watch it. You watch it. Watch where you point your fingers
Cause the blame it never ends in this twisted paradise

It's our vice
It's our lives, and there's no escape

Survivor, you made it out a liar
What does it take to cross the finish line?
Survivor, you made it out a liar
Drown or deceive. It's become a disease
And we're all just suffering
You hide behind your false innocence
Maybe, just maybe, you're the disease

It's become a disease

I'm just a pharisee, but you're standing here next to me
We've drawn a line in the sand, yet you judge where I stand?

One lie at a time, and watch morality dull and redefine
It's not all black and white
One lie at a time, ignore the voice inside and how you'll be just fine
That voice is just delusion
