Days N' Daze - Earthturn

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I should be doing more
I should be workin' harder towards a goal
Wandering so aimlessly is a little irresponsible
But to me it seems illogical
To spend the little bit of time I got alive
Locked up in a cubicle
Rotting in an office
Working hard to get a bigger one
Maybe in the corner with a window
Where I can feel the sun
Hit my face through the panes
The warmth is nice
But it serves to remind me
I'm stuck here 'till five

Cash rules everything around us
Gotta pay the bills y'all
Gotta put the bread on the table

{Pre-Chorus}
We're all in the same boat
Just trying to scrape by
Succumbin' to the time, so

{Chorus}
Drink, pray, fuck, work
Fight, lose, win, try, fail
Do what you will
The earth still turns

{Verse 2}
I'm a nervous wreck riddled with anxieties
Contemplating how
I'm gonna kick the bucket constantly
In a quest for comfort
And to quiet my mind
I'm self-medicating a fifth at a time
Sure I'm fine and dandy
Three sheets to the wind
But when I come to
I'm an earthquake again
It's a flask of bandaids
Straight down the hatch
Right back to the bilious bliss
And it seems
I'll just never learn my lesson
A lifetime of fuck ups I'll never remember
And some that I'll never forget
Chugging the Kool-Aid it's laced with regret
But how the fuck else am I meant to cope
Without knotting up a good sturdy rope

{Pre-Chorus}
We're all in the same boat
Just trying to scrape by
Succumbin' to time, so

{Chorus}
Drink, pray, fuck, work
Fight, lose, win, try, fail
Do what you will
The earth still turns

{Bridge: }
We're all in this together
Just trying to cope
Searching the shit storm
For remnants of hope
Though the paths may diverge
The finale's the same
Panic and out go the lights
There are some so insistent
That life holds a meaning
Well, it's my school of thought
That there's no point to breathing
Accidents happen
We're proof of the fact
Life is fleeting so please have some fun

There are just some things you can't outrun
Death being the most assured one
You can try to outrun the past
Hold off the future
Make the present last
But everyone some day confronts the end

{Chorus}
So, drink, pray, fuck, work
Fight, lose, win, try, fail
Do what you will
The earth still turns

Drink, pray, fuck, work
Fight, lose, win, try, fail
Do what you will
The earth still turns
