Lyrics
What A Day - Poor myself a strong one
What A day - Thought it never end
The tingle of bourbon as it slides past my tongue
Seeps into my chest and burns through the numb
But it can’t burn fast enough
Gonna be another long one
Gonna be another long one
The only light – It comes from the outside
It feels to bright- but I’m not messing with the shade
As I sink in the sofa surrounded by pillows
I pull in my legs till they’re smashing my breasts
And I can’t get close enough
Gonna be another long one
By now things should be better – but they just stay the same
Even worse would be better- cause nothing and no one and no where
Is no way to end –Another day
The morning sun – saturates the sofa
I need more sleep – there isn’t anywhere to hide
As I crawl to the kitchen and put on some coffee
I tell myself that it’s gonna be ok
But I don’t sound sure enough
It’s gonna be another long one
Cause nothing and no one and no where is no way to end another day
