Bad Day Ballad

I could tell a hundred different stories 'bout an adverse setting The feeling of a man's first weapon The ceiling of the bottom floor room Never seen white speckles It's evil when they Hyde like Jekyll If bending over backwards still ain't make the last day special It hurts when the back pain gets you And that came with you when you showed up, sho' nuff Tried to keep it pushing But the past ain't let you I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad Swing swing swords That's a metaphor Never more clean things sworn worth a settle Core feelings always bring sing song revelations I've been battling with strong separation reflex (There ain't a place for me yet) But still I'm placing these bets Pure hope I can feel it 'tween the therapy sessions And sore throats And dry eyes The brink of the collapsing And lord knows how we made it Still developing patience when war close The seat is at the table Used to wonder how could I go on? They gone throw me out if I show brawn Every side of a person can serve a purpose, when the light show gone If you don't do it, who gone write those songs? Nobody got the perspective except the reckless That's the truth of the matter Imma take it off the roof if I have to, to make it work They done let me off the leash, and the leap imma take first Being happy and tripping the same hurt I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad I could muster up the soul to stay afloat, Stay balanced Or sing another bad day ballad
