i can make it through the day.
only hours in the way.
and i don't know what to say.
i just need to stay awake.
i will make it through the day.
i drag my feet,
flash a grin and nod.
am i just a pawn?
no, there's not a purpose for me,
but even if i got one, it isn't what i'd want.
i'm living in a song on repeat,
playing on and on.
i liked it. now i'm dumb.
so under this façade, my conceit
was in me all along,
stronger than i thought.
guess i got it wrong.
i will make it through the day.
i'll buckle down and operate
until the light begins to fade
and the colors melt away.
i will make it through the day
if i just keep calm.
i will make it through the day
if i don't let on.
i bite my lip.
give me your best shot.
i will take it on.
i think i feel a rush. i resist.
no, i will not be stopped.
i will be a rock.
do i get choked up? i'm no wimp.
so you heard me sob?
well i sob like a boss.
this is not a rut. i'm managing.
it's the same phenomenon,
nothing i haven't done.
i will carry on.
