A Day in the Life

The walls are closing in his chest tightens up
His shirt a button up rips it off to take on
His life it used to seem so open wide
Now he's trapped up inside a cage that he made in
His mind is always playing tricks on him
Makes it hard to give any positive thoughts to
Anything or anyone that he sees
Falls onto his knees and he's done with these thoughts too

He drinks and he smokes
So much that he chokes
All in all
It's just a day in the life of

Her constant tears it seems they're pouring down
In a pool so deep she could drown with no capable ladder
Her former thoughts were of his world so bright
And then they're suicide well now she favors the latter
Because in her mind she envisioned her role
Deep inside of his soul with date night on weekends
Feels like she won't get through any of this
Clenched tight is her fist and her heart it has weakened

She drinks and she smokes
Every word he spoke
All in all
It's just a day in the life of

He's scratching pads erasing every line
Not a good enough rhyme and soon his frustration grows
He's always been the talented one in school
Choosing art over cool because that's all that he knows
But not everyone's dream can be
His fluid fantasy fails to flow to fruition
Living day by day his eyes are half closed
Burning tracks that he knows, goodbye intuition

He drank and he smoked
Every note they wrote
All in all
It's just a day in the life of loss
