Face the Day
- watery whiskey in a drinking glass
- and last night’s dishes on the countertop.
- a cup of coffee and a cigarette:
- ash on the front page.
- will I ever face the day?
- will I ever…?
- yesterday’s projects hazy in my mind,
- I drag the razor slow across my skin.
- a splash, a towel, and it’s all done:
- what can I do now?
- will I ever face the day?
- will I ever face the day?
- will I ever walk away…
- …to a world that’s more like
- the one in my dreams?
- where every day is an opening
- for me,
- for me?
- (repeat)
- watery whiskey in a drinking glass
- and last night’s dishes on the countertop.
- a cup of coffee and a cigarette
- ash on the front page:
- will I ever face the day?
- will I ever…?
- yesterday’s projects hazy in my mind,
- I drag the razor slow across my skin.
- a splash, a towel, and it’s all done:
- what can I do now?
- will I ever face the day?
- will I ever face the day?
- will I ever walk away…
- …to a world that’s more like
- the one in my dreams?
- where every day is an opening
- for me,
- for me?
- I want a world that’s more like
- the one in my dreams,
- where every road has choices
- for me,
- for me…
- I want a world that’s more like
- the one I’ve never seen
- where any direction’s as good as
- any,
- any…
- (spoken)
- watery whiskey in a drinking glass
- and last night’s dishes on the countertop.
- a cup of coffee and a cigarette:
- ash on the front page
- this is your life.
- this is your life.
- this is your life.
- this is your life.
- this is
- your
- life.
