Mirror E

Last night’s bills staring from the counter. Same old sink overflowing with the Hours. Calendar flips, but the rent still bites. Fireworks fade, I’m awake all Night. Hard light, new year. Same weight on my back, but I’m still here. Hard light, new year. If the world won’t change, yeah, yeah, Yeah, then I’ll change gear. Hard light, new year. I’m cracked, I’m scared, but I won’t disappear. Passion nation lights. Clock hits twelve, I’m in line at work. Plastic crown on a coffee-stained shirt. Boss says smile while the floorboards creak. I plan my escape on my lunch break heap, Huh. Raise a glass to the days we survived. To the bad decisions that kept us alive. To the quiet promise mumbled in the mirror. This time, this time. I drag my future nearer. Raise a glass to the days we survived. To the bad decisions that kept us alive. To the quiet promise mumbled in the mirror. This time, this time. I drag my future nearer. Uh. Raise a glass to the days we survived. To the bad decisions that kept us alive. To the quiet promise mumbled in the mirror. This time, this time. I drag my future nearer. Hard Light, new year. Same weight on my back, but I’m still here. Hard light, new year. If the world won’t change, yeah, Yeah, yeah, then I’ll change gear. Hard light, new year. I’m cracked, I’m scared, but I won’t disappear. Passion nation lights. Mirror cracks back at a tired face. Counting the scars when I send this race. One more shift and maybe I’ll fly. But dawn creeps in with the same old lie. Raise a glass to the days we survived. To the bad decisions that kept us alive. To the quiet promise mumbled in the mirror. This time, this time. I drag my future nearer.
