They shot me in the face and I'm still alive
They ripped my heart out and I'm still alive
They changed my name and I'm still alive
They shot me in the face and I'm still alive
They ripped my heart out and I'm still alive
They changed my name and I'm still alive
To anxiety surges, to believing in karma
To the neighborhood at night
The punches to the nose, those taken in the face
When bad luck seems like it's not enough
The wrong girl, the one who leaves
Because maybe I wasn't enough
And even to those who were with me
When I only offered Bangla roses
Clean faces, scowling faces
And to the San Carlini and the zarri
Decisive actions, confused thoughts
To smokes, brands, jerseys
Tilted mirrors, dreams and the pen
The good cop and the bad cop
The benches, the Rizla, the weed from the Chilum
To the mouth that's got no saliva
Getting back at four, the substitute
To the one who replaced you when you were losing
The tears and screams, handshakes
And grips on the heart when life pins you down
The tour in the Yaris and the tour in the Bimmer
Maybe I've figured one thing out, that
They shot me in the face and I'm still alive
They ripped my heart out and I'm still alive
They changed my name and I'm still alive
I kinda feel like my place is right here
I scare myself when I feel like this
I've just come out of the mud
With the clean face of a saint
They shot me in the face and I'm still alive
They ripped my heart out and I'm still alive
They changed my name and I'm still alive
The toxic relationship, hemlock love
Rock Saturday, Sunday in sweats
Tough friends raised on strength
But they're sweet if you peel off the rind
In the mirror you see yourself roar
But live, nothing, who's copying who?
To set sail I put a tiger on a leash
Because this is the Life of Pi
I've never seen a dawn like this
When the only aim was to wait for the day
When they said, 'You'd be who?'
Hell is empty 'cause I've got devils around me
Until you make it, termites in your thoughts
Bro, in that state you're just a dreamer
The more they talked, the more they're germs now
I ignore them, terms and conditions of use
To luxury hotels and hourly motels
To packed clubs, full of people
To the cold when I was alone
To the smiles of these kids in the warmth
To the girl you don't call 'love'
But when she gets up, she leaves you her scent
Because you realize you know how to love
Only if they shoot you in the heart first, but
They shot me in the face and I'm still alive
They ripped my heart out and I'm still alive
They changed my name and I'm still alive
I kinda feel like my place is right here
I scare myself when I feel like this
I've just come out of the mud
With the clean face of a saint
They shot me in the face and I'm still alive
They ripped my heart out and I'm still alive
They changed my name and I'm still alive
