Survival’s Hard

Positivity isn't a strong suit of mine when writing but I gave it a go, and this came out, hope it gets a smile or two.

This song was recorded with a single mic at Pete's house in Wellington, & is the first of a short collection of songs I've written that didn't quite fit with the next upcoming Departure Party Album, but I felt I couldn't bench them and still wanted to share them with you all.

Lots of love
Jojo
lyrics
How long have I wasted, looking at all the negatives
fueling fires I should have been extinguishing
I've hoisted myself by my own neck to get out of dark places
some of which I got to admit I had a hand in creating

I've survived a hundred percent of my worst days so far
& here's hoping I survive one hundred percent of the rest of my life

strictly speaking somedays I don't know how I've come so far
from contemplations to dumb situations someones got me in their good graces
but I have been fucked around had ups and downs, but I'm still actually here, able to say this loud and clear yeah

I've survived a hundred percent of my worst days so far
& here's hoping I survive one hundred percent of the rest of my life

So how long have you wasted, looking at all the negatives
fueling fires that you really should have been extinguishing
Hoisted yourself by your own fucking neck to get out of dark places
some of which you got to admit you had a hand in creating
