I wrote the script for ‘Survived’ over the course of 3 days entirely in my head while contemplating the personal struggle of moving on from my past self. I have built a career on an identity I know longer have and a purgatory that no longer binds me.

The backpack represents a lot of things and it’s hard to explain from the perspective of someone who live out of a backpack and used one as a chair for more years than I actually owned one. It symbolizes the burdens I carry good and bad, but also is a real life look at who I used to be. I spent years reaching into my pack of burdens, pulling out poison to slowly kill myself. We choose the burdens we carry in this world and this story represents me choosing to leave those most sadistic and rotten burdens behind.

This is the greatest and most painful piece of art I have ever made all around. The first time I played this song back after nonchalantly recording it I wept in thankfulness for the great gift of writing I had been given. The process of making this video was devastating emotionally from the needle to Nichols’ Bible. I have to give serious thanks to Jesse Weeden of One Trick Pony Media for his incredible work creating this on a few days turn around. Without his eye and diligence this could not have happened.

All that to say, I don’t know who you are but whatever darkness you carry can be left behind if you choose hand them over. I have survived and if you’re reading this, you have too.

Lyrics:
Wading again on the wrong side of low
Calling my courage from the comforts I know
Easy to lust and harder to hold
Don’t take it for granted you reap what you sow

There’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived,Lord how have I survived

The loneliest people that I’ve ever seen
Live in the current of Babylon’s dream
Surrounded by idols where no one believes
Lost in the title no roots on their feet

There’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived,Lord how have I survived

I carry some burdens too fragile to mold
I wear them like diamonds though they’re worthless as stones
At times it’s a gamble who’s in control
But never afraid for the sake of my soul

There’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord I have survived,Lord how have I survived
