Lyrics

Part of my job is to wake up way before the sun rise

To hear the stories of what happens when destiny plays with our lives

Take another step in these puddles towards the next check to survive

Maybe spare a second in the mirror just to keep up our disguise

Just a regular guy holding onto capacity to listen

Business as usual, catastrophes stacked into prisms

You can shine a light on any face but recognize what's beneath the system

I'm guilty of turning blind eyes, letting it slide while I'm sipping

On the house lager, budget too strapped to buy the next round

Close my eyes, take a swig, split second forget my surroundings

Too proud to admit my faults, pointing my fingers around

Sing karaoke blues to the handful left in the crowd

Line up the cue, follow through with the shot, sink the 8 smooth

Other times bounce off the wall, move like there's nothing to lose

Been rolling with the punches so long, slip the combo one-two

I can barely tell the difference between my birthmarks and a bruise

We're just moving along, we stay moving along

Already skipped to next song, we stay moving along

Let bygones be cast-off, we stay moving along

What's lost stays lost, so we just move it along

We're just moving along, we stay moving along

Already hopped to the next bar, we stay moving along

Though we forgot what we are, we stay moving along

With each cause comes a cost, so we just move it along

Part of my job is to recognize those whom others find irrelevant

Compose portraits of smiles despite hell, with no embellishments

Focus the lens, press the shutter on the image of perseverance

Patient like 35-mili film, wait for the next development

Can't decide if it's time better spent on chasing a buzz

Set my aperture wide, capture vibes mistaken for love

Jotting down all this advice for the next generation to come

How long until they discover we was just making it up?

We're going on and on drinking all of these Molotovs

Watching the world explode, we're expected to swallow it up

Spend my day floating through the city to explore the ambiance

But gas money's tough so its either walk or take the bus

Slow it down to catch a moment, we probably lost before

I'm always staying after the show to wait for the encore

Cutting off all our connections, headphones to aux cords

Head nod to the bartenders, heavy-handed on the pours

We're just moving along, we stay moving along

Already skipped to next song, we stay moving along

Let bygones be cast-off, we stay moving along

What's lost stays lost, so we just move it along

We're just moving along, we stay moving along

Already hopped to the next bar, we stay moving along

Though we forgot what we are, we stay moving along

With each cause comes a cost, so we just move it along
