lyrics

I ain't singing to pass the time
I ain't singing cause I'm caught on a line
All I know is I sing to survive

Some songs will be quiet and others won't let you sleep
Some will speak like a hammer and make your ears ring for a week
Some songs will pass judgments and yell things that you'd never say
And others speak for you when you've lost your voice for days
Some songs will be reckless and some will be tucked in their place
Others are righteous and unable to take up space
Some songs will keep moving even when you hang on tight
Others will find you when you let em out of your sights then you know

I ain't singing to pass the time
I ain't singing cause I'm caught on a line
All I know is I sing to survive

Some songs will be truthful and others you will sing through your teeth
And some will condemn you and leave you beaten out on the street
Some songs will give comfort and carry you up to the sun
While others will ground you and show you're not the only one
Some songs will take notice of a life that's been buried away
And some will find deathliness on the very bed where you lay
Some songs will give warning and tell what's next to come
While others accept you leave you there to beat on your drum then you know

I ain't singing to pass the time
I ain't singing cause I'm caught on a line
All I know is I sing to survive

You think I do this for my health well you're right
All I wanna do is stay alive

I ain't singing to pass the time
I ain't singing cause I'm caught on a line
All I know is I sing to survive
That’s all I ever knew about it
I’ll go to the roof and shout it
There’s nothing I can do about it
I sing to survive
