Will You Take That Laying Down?
How am I supposed to wake up
And face another day
When the night is so appealing
And beckons me to stay
When the light is so unforgiving
That it forces me away
How am I supposed to stand up
And face another day
When the ground is so welcoming
Allowing my body to lay
When rising is so unnecessary
Cause I'll be forced down anyway
How am I supposed to move forward
And face another day
When the past is so comforting
Cause there's no price to pay
When the unknown isn't so threatening
Cause I've already seen the plays
How am I supposed to exist
And face another day
When forced emotion is so haggard
And I'm just moving through the haze
When nothingness is so comforting
That I may willingly obey
