[Verse 1]
Daytime
I button my shame
Collar straight
Coffee in hand
Call me “Doctor
” shake all their palms
They clap for the calm in my plans
Nighttime
I unhook my guard
Tie on the habits that scar
Slide through the cracks in my mind
Say I’ll be back by dark
[Chorus]
I got two lives
One skin
Holy outside
Hell within
I keep rising
Then I slip
Halo in the morning
Poison on my lips
I got two lives
One skin
Clean white coat
Stained remission
Still I’m breathing
So I guess
Survival is my only superstition
[Verse 2]
Pictures on bookshelves
Framed
Look like I handled it all
But some of my chapters burn
Hidden in bathroom stalls
I toast to the bruises I hid
Laugh at the ghost in the glass
Kiss every scar like a dare
Praying this night will pass
[Chorus]
I got two lives
One skin
Holy outside
Hell within
I keep rising
Then I slip
Halo in the morning
Poison on my lips
I got two lives
One skin
Clean white coat
Stained remission
Still I’m breathing
So I guess
Survival is my only superstition
[Bridge]
Tell me
Which one is real?
The one who saves or needs saving?
Can I stitch these selves together
Or am I always changing
Breaking? (oh)
[Chorus]
I got two lives
One skin
Holy outside
Hell within
I keep rising
Then I slip
Halo in the morning
Poison on my lips
I got two lives
One skin
But I’m learning how to listen
To the part of me that lived
Not the part that loved the prison
[Outro]
Daytime
I button my shame
Night falls
I face it again
Maybe two lives
One skin
Is just the shape of how I win
