Not Giving up Today

Looking back

It’s always easier

To see what you would change

Maybe everything

Swallowed

Your in the clouds of regret

Reeling the lunacy

Despair abundantly

Then follows

Sleep in

Throw away opportunity

Call out

Save face for the eulogy

Disgraced

How the hell could this happen?

Bet on myself

Now I’m starting to panic

Two jobs

I don’t think I can handle more

Late bills

There’s a landlord at my front door

All this

And I’m starting to see

I am still so far

From where I want to be.

Could pray

Could open a line

Give everybody patience

Say everything’s alright

Caught up in another lie

Could fail

But I’d make do

Compare

Yourself to you

Don’t have to believe

When I am telling the truth

When it’s said and over

I’ll be closer

Always getting older

Feeling colder

Healing

Is a terrible pain

Let us start with confronting

You need to explain

Saddle up

Cause we’re just getting started

You need to calm down

Cause we’re sharing our trauma

Gather round

Introduced to the group

Not a face you could trust

3 are planning a coup

Eyes are wide

Cause you’re casing an exit,

Caught by the guards,

They don’t find you impressive

Now sleep

Cause we can’t have you risking

Our peace

That’s the reason your living

Docs in

And he’s ready to see you

Deadly design

Let me spare you the preview

Could pray

Could open a line

Give everybody patience

Say everything’s alright

Caught up in another lie

Could fail

But I’d make do

Compare

Yourself to you

Don’t have to believe

When I am telling the truth

So will you cry?

On the day I die?

Will you see I tried?

Safe to keep

Something to care for

No rules

Just a little tough break

And some time to dwell

Not giving up today

For yesterday
