Up before the birds are singing
One foot off the bed fists swinging
Just one of those days hand wringing
Look around to pick a fight and trying to conceal
Do you ever feel like you wake up on battlefields
Struggle inside smile and a frown
Put up a fight put your foot down
Playing the part think they can tell
Acting so cool anxious as hell
Shaking a hand keep up the pace
Stay on the move fuck up the place
Maybe if they notice but no one would say just
Go on pretending we’re doing okay
Skipping the caffeine this time
I’ll just take a tea it’s fine
How else can I decorate
Light the incense and the sage
Maybe if I burn enough I’ll pass out and avoid today
Spiderwebs are sinking sand
Resistance is the recipe for failure
Struggle inside smile and a frown
Put up a fight put your foot down
Playing the part think they can tell
Acting so cool anxious as hell
Shaking a hand keep up the pace
Stay on the move fuck up the place
Maybe if they notice but no one would say just
Go on pretending we’re doing okay
Shortness of the breath while brushing teeth is unexpected
Heart beating me up
Mirror staring back (I see you)
Counting down to launch attack (it’s all good)
Did I drag this sinew from the other side
Continue in for one hell of a ride
One hell of ride
Struggle inside smile and a frown
Put up a fight put your foot down
Playing the part think they can tell
Acting so cool anxious as hell
Shaking a hand keep up the pace
Stay on the move fuck up the place
Maybe if they notice but no one would say just
Go on pretending we’re doing okay
