ANOTHER DAY

 


ANOTHER DAY

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2021

 

I'VE TRIED TO CHANGE SO MANY TIMES

 

I'M NOT SURE WHERE IT BEGAN

 

NOT SURE WHERE IT ENDS

 

BETTER THAN I WAS YESTERDAY

 

BUT I'M STILL THE SAME OLD ME

 

CASTING DOUBTS LIKE STONES

 

IN THE SEA OF MISERY

 

SINKING WITH THEM JUST

 

TO HOLD MYSELF DOWN 

 

I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEED IT

 

BUT GIVE ME MORE

 

 TIME TO COME AROUND 

 

A FINE LINE ON THE EDGE

 

A NEW CHANCE EACH DAY

 

A LIGHT I SEE BUT AS I REACH 

 

I GET DISTRACTED AND

 

LOOK THE OTHER WAY

 

 

I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND

 

OF SOMETHING SO THE SAME

 

I JUST CAN'T PLAY THAT GAME

 

TOO MANY NIGHTS

 

 THAT CLOSED AROUND ME

 

TRIED TO DROWN ME 

 

STEAL MY SOUL

 

I MIGHT HAVE DUG MY OWN MISERY

 

NOT SURE WHY  THAT WOULD BE

 

BUT THERE IT IS

 

THE THINGS I NEVER CAME TO SEE

 

ARE BEST FORGOTTEN 

 

IT SOUNDS SO COMPLETE 

 

BUT I'M NOT HOLDING OUT ANYMORE

 

FOR WHAT I CANNOT REACH

 

 

BETTER STICK TO WHAT IS REAL

 

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE

 

TO HOW I FEEL

 

I'VE BEEN HIDDEN

 

I'VE BEEN FOUND

 

I'VE BEEN ALONE AND TWO

 

I'VE BEEN HAPPY I'VE BEEN BLUE

 

BUT NO MATER WHICH WAY I TURN

 

I KEEP ON GETTING BURNED

 

I KEEP TO MYSELF TURN AWAY

 

ITS JUST ANOTHER DAY

 

ANOTHER NIGHT OF RELATIVE OBSCURITY
