Lyrics

What if you need a fucking job but can't get one
Unless you've felt that then you don't know the way it feels
To file for unemployment get a fraction of the income
And still
It doesn't pay your bills and you got kids
Who just found out that schools canceled
Pandemic problems
Here's a new handful and your the parent
It's your job to lead by example 'cause you're a superhero to them
No trick you can't pull
But inside your cracking
Like a gift that's too big and it rips the wrapping
And every day some crazy new shit keeps happening
And even tho your laughing you're not that good at acting
And now we gotta quarantine and kids wanna play now
But depressions a bitch and you just wanna lay down
Instead you gotta try to explain why every play ground
Isn't safe now or covered in caution tape now
And it's all from this thing that we'll forever remember
Covid19
So do you get the vaccine or go without one
Fear of judgment and fear of an unknown outcome
Like oh you wanna hug your grandma you better ask
Did you sanitize your hands
Is she wearing her mask
Keep 6 ft back or you'll be 6 ft in the grass
What'd you say
Don't worry about what I got in this glass
I'm tired
I'm alright I'm ok I'm a liar
They say diamonds cook in the fire best when the pressures on
So I'm trying to just hold on
But my hands are tired
And my stress can't get any higher
Feels like I'm walking on wire now
And I just looked down
No net above that ground
All alone
Now pay attention
I got no degrees but at least I got a few skills
I use for enjoyment to make a small income
But still
It doesn't pay my bills and I got a kid
Who just found out his schools canceled
Pandemic problems
Now I gotta handful and as a parent
It's my job to lead by example 'cause I'm a superhero to him
No trick Dad can't pull
But inside I'm dying
Like a bird with broke wings that pretends he's flying
I turn the rear view mirror so he won't me crying
But even when I'm smiling I'm not that good at lying
It's been months on this quarantine
Daddy needs a break now
My depressions a bitch
And I just wanna lay down
Instead I gotta duck under yellow caution tape now
Sneak into a playground
Just so he can play now
And it's all from this thing
That I just wanna forget
Covid19
Wife's a nurse so she got the vaccine
I went without one
Fear of judgement and fear of an unknown outcome
I just wanna hug my mom without having to ask
Did you sanitize your hands
Are you wearing your mask
I been sober for years
Honestly I'm bout to relapse
What'd you say
Don't worry about what I got in this flask
I'm tired
I'm alright I'm ok I'm a liar
They say diamonds cook in the fire best when the pressures on
So I'm trying to just hold on
But my hands are tired
And my stress can't get any higher
Feels like I'm walking on wire now
And I just looked down
No net above that ground
All alone
I'm tired
My stress can't get any higher
Feels like I'm walking on wire now
And I just looked down
No net above that ground
But I'm not alone
