How Hard the Day

Write me a prescription, keep the loneliness at bay

How much of this friction will it take to enflame?

I don't need a doctor to diagnose pain

For the pricks and bruises, yet somehow we stay

When it hurts

You know how hard

You know how hard

I rub my nose in the dirt

And it hurts

Started with some crying, all ends in decay

Told you I was lying when I said I was brave

There's no silver lining at the end of this page

Life is an affliction, we all get in the way

When it hurts

You know how hard

You know how hard

I rub my nose in the dirt

And it hurts

You know how hard

You know how hard

I rub my nose in the dirt

And it hurts

Can't believe I can get so bleak

I don't swing this way, so to speak

And when I bleed, all I see is decay

I don't swing that way

When it hurts

You know how hard

You know how hard

I rub my nose in the dirt

And it hurts

You know how hard

You know how hard

I rub my nose in the dirt

And it hurts
