I'm from the land where the sun don't shine,
Where the streets are lined with liquor stores and grime,
Where the only way out is through the system or crime,
And I'm just trying to find a way to survive,
(Pre-Chorus)
But it ain't easy when the world is closing in,
And the voices in my head are getting louder,
And I can feel the darkness closing in,
But I won't give up, I'm a fighter,
(Chorus)
I've got a switchblade in my pocket,
A reminder that I'm still alive,
I'm not gonna let the world get the best of me,
I'm gonna keep on fighting, I'm gonna survive,
(Verse)
I've been through hell and back,
I've seen things that you wouldn't believe,
But I'm still here, I'm still standing,
And I'm not gonna let anything get me down,
(Pre-Chorus)
But it ain't easy when the world is closing in,
And the voices in my head are getting louder,
And I can feel the darkness closing in,
But I won't give up, I'm a fighter,
(Chorus)
I've got a switchblade in my pocket,
A reminder that I'm still alive,
I'm not gonna let the world get the best of me,
I'm gonna keep on fighting, I'm gonna survive,
(Bridge)
I know I'm not perfect,
I've made mistakes,
But I'm trying my best,
I'm trying to be better,
(Chorus)
I've got a switchblade in my pocket,
A reminder that I'm still alive,
I'm not gonna let the world get the best of me,
I'm gonna keep on fighting, I'm gonna survive
