Gloriously Mundane (feat. Nick Schrader)

There's work to do and money to earn and people to see The balancing act is a twenty-four-hour forgery Seven days cannot contain just how weak I feel Sundays offer hope that every Monday aims to steal Fiction only makes it worse We live in dreams and feed the curse But when your dollar lets you down True riches can be found It takes different kinds of glories To tell our full stories The special and repetitive The debts we earn, rewards we give Don't die for your wages just to live There's work to do and joy to be shared and people to see The balancing act is a labor of love in delivery Necessary evils can be voluntary goods When we steal back our privilege from self-imposing "should"s Real life happens when we see Into our shared humanity And drop the dressed up masks we wear We don't have to be scared It takes different kinds of glories To tell our full stories The special and repetitive The debts we earn, rewards we give Don't die for your wages just to live It takes different kinds of glories To tell our full stories The special and repetitive The joy we get, the love we give Don't die for your wages just to live It could all drive you insane Till you see it's gloriously mundane
