A Night In Texas - Day/Day lyrics

Here it goes again Awakening in a state where I'm already feeling spent and unable recuperate Torn from nirvana I just want to close my eyes and dream away this stress and pain I can't hold back the tide I know that if I just let go The sea of immensity will mercilessly swallow me whole I never asked for this life Born into ruin, grasping onto light Day after day Beaten, I chip away Toiling through vexations Wave after wave I feel like a slave Doomed to this constant decay The past piling high Forgotten dreams I left to die Fed such lies we swallow them whole Vain, bitter and vile Crippling my will and leaving me senseless Why am I aware of this? Stuck in a cycle ever so torturous Wake up It's your life and only you control it We must free ourselves alone from our own torments Sick of the patterns I have forged with my own intent and I figure This is all I'm ever going to be, relentlessly Recycling forward unto naught, all progression returns to rot Unable to resist the urge to slip A failed captain goes down with his ship To drown in unending days Hopelessly as you pray You drown in your petty ways, witness us wither away Wither away with us Day after day Beaten, I chip away Day after day Breaking my back as I dig my shallow grave I slowly rot away Day after day Forgetting to breathe Day after day Searching through sorrow To find a way for this strain to leave me Day after day Beaten, I chip away Toiling through vexations Wave after wave I'm feeling like a slave Doomed to this constant decay Day by day, I slave away in mediocrity Day by day, cultivating my anxiety Day by day, I waste away into obscurity Underneath the pressure of the fear that takes control of me This weight I bear breaks my legs, shatters my spine Empty inside Cycles of sickness seem to be my only form of existence
