lyrics

I'm surprised by the sun every day I wake up
I'm surprised by waking up
I'm surprised to see my blood still running through and out me
I think I must have died, but...

I've survived a slingshot from the darkest man
I have cried a well of poisoned tears
I'm surprised that your skin can let in so much sin
But I know I'm still alive

Looks like I'm alive

I have tried to understand the hardest riddles
Love and hate and love gone strange
I am tired but I know to stop would be to drop
Now I know I'm still alive

Looks like I'm alive
