I wake up day after day
I'm the same why can't I change?
I try to do things different ways
But it just hurts and I hate the pain
Life is pain I think that's the phrase
The drugs are meant to take it away
I've only learned how tolerance goes up and not the other way
If it's all we can read
If it's all we can see
Tell me
Is that not all we can be?
If it's all we've been told
To go after the gold
Tell me
What's the point of a soul?
Staring down the dark stairs
I'll leave those thoughts there
Their faces still stare
Their eyes pierce deep and through me
And I've met each one
They live on no sun
Starve on scraps that I still feed them
I'm far from where I used to be
I wake up day after day
I'm the same why can't I change?
I try to do things different ways
But it just hurts and I hate the pain
Life is pain I think that's the phrase
The drugs are meant to take it away
I've only learned how tolerance goes up and not the other way
If it's all we can read
If it's all we can see
Tell me
Is that not all we can be?
If it's all we've been told
To go after the gold
Tell me then
What's the point of a soul?
I need a new perspective
But I'm not receptive
Is there more incentive
Then to just live
See tomorrow see another day another week another year
I'm still not sure what's happening here
What are they living for
Peeking in another's door
Tryna find the meaning
They really don't know anymore
Than the next guy the next boss the next psycho
It's at least a little funny where my mind goes
Look at me standing here
Tryna lighten up the mood
Mama says don't say nothing now if it's rude
Y'all probably think I'm a real decent dude
Taking time writing songs and singing them just for you
It's just for you only if it's cool
Your opinion will put me on a pedestal
At least in my brain
Write some words that sound like I'm in pain
Put them in a song so you can relate
I wake up day after day
I'm the same why can't I change?
I try to do things different ways
But it just hurts and I hate the pain
Life is pain I think that's the phrase
The drugs are meant to take it away
I've only learned how tolerance goes up and not the other way
If it's all we can read
If it's all we can see
Tell me
Is that not all we can be?
If it's all we've been told
To go after the gold
What's the point of a soul?
If it's all we can read
If it's all we can see
Tell me
Is that not all we can be?
If it's all we've been told
To go after the gold
Tell me
What's the point of a soul?
