The alarm clock rings... I feel so weak And the sunlight shining in my eyes it makes it hard to sleep The rooms are cold Smell like piss and blood Everyday I wake I feel I'm knee deep in the flood Spending days pa**ing through and moving on Never realizing what I've had until it's gone And now my eyes are open wide... I can't go on Singing the same old songs that I have always sung About life and loss and the places I belong Singing the same old songs that I have always sung Hoping the melodies will carry me home... The alarm clock rings... The floor is cold, before my eyes are open I'm falling out the door The wind is fierce It chaps and burns my eyes It all sounds well and fine just f*cking try it on for size! Day in day out The hammers fall It's all in due time that they come to crush us all And now my eyes are open wide... I can't go on Singing the same old songs that I have always sung About life and loss and the places I belong Singing the same old songs that I have always sung Hoping the melodies will carry me home Follow this path until it fails Carry my life on fingernails I will sing until my throat goes numb Be the chance you'll never take When it stares you in the face I will sing while I'm still young! I will sing while I'm still young...
