Face the Day (5:40)
watery whiskey in a drinking glass
and last night’s dishes on the countertop
a cup of coffee and a cigarette
ash on the front page
will I ever face the day?
will I ever …
yesterday’s projects hazy in my mind
I drag the razor slow across my skin
a splash, a towel, and it’s all done
what can I do now?
will I ever face the day?
will I ever face the day?
will I ever walk away …
… to a world that’s more like
the one in my dreams
where every day is an opening
for me,
for me?
(repeat)
watery whiskey in a drinking glass
and last night’s dishes on the countertop
a cup of coffee and a cigarette
ash on the front page
will I ever face the day?
will I ever …
yesterday’s projects hazy in my mind
I drag the razor slow across my skin
a splash, a towel, and it’s all done
what can I do now?
will I ever face the day?
will I ever face the day?
will I ever walk away …
… to a world that’s more like
the one in my dreams
where every day is an opening
for me,
for me?
I want a world that’s more like
the one in my dreams
where every road has choices
for me,
for me …
I want a world that’s more like
the one I’ve never seen
where any direction’s as good as
any,
any …
(spoken)
watery whiskey in a drinking glass
and last night’s dishes on the countertop
a cup of coffee and a cigarette
ash on the front page
this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
this is
your
life
