Day after day
Nothing ever changes
No matter the way
Trying to stay away
From unsteady disarray
This life I portray
Is here everyday
So I must move on
Without delay
Yelling and screaming
Like the town crier
Here I conspire
To fight my one desire
But all I wanna do
Is get myself higher
Now all I feel like
Is that I'm sinking in the mire
Standing in the line of fire
My life calling in a cease fire
Stopping to turn
Only to find I've reopened fire
In this pool of life
I try and tread
Only to know
I hanging by a thread
I see red
When I try and get ahead
Fearing what's next
I could only dread
For my heart has bled
And now I'm dead.

Living my life
Day after day
Nothing ever changes
No matter the way
Trying to stay away
From unsteady disarray
This life I portray
Is here everyday
So I must move on
Without delay
Yelling and screaming
Like the town crier
Here I conspire
To fight my one desire
But all I wanna do
Is get myself higher
Now all I feel like
Is that I'm sinking in the mire
Standing in the line of fire
My life calling in a cease fire
Stopping to turn
Only to find I've reopened fire
In this pool of life
I try and tread
Only to know
I hanging by a thread
I see red
When I try and get ahead
Fearing what's next
I could only dread
For my heart has bled
And now I'm dead.
