What an Excellent Day for an Exorcism

I've been setting off landmines in the caverns of my mind
Trying to find gold amongst the rocks and dirt and dust
Such a pointless excavation if you ask me
But no one ever does

Everyone keeps telling me there's no way out
Just keep your head upon your shoulders
And your ears pressed to the ground
Listen for the soft footsteps of change...

We'll I've been dying for the right to choose
Between living with myself or dying without you
This is what it all comes down to

I'll be crawling out of bed at 5 A.M
Making just enough cash to get me through the week
I'll be sitting in class from nine to three
Doing just enough work to get me by
This is my life
And it's ending one paycheck at a time

I thought I found god in an empty broken bottle
But he keeps disappearing
Before I get the chance to speak
Anymore it feels like when I'm getting close to something
The ground just collapses underneath my feet

Still, I'll be crawling out of bed at 5 A.M
Making just enough cash to get me through the week
I'll be sitting in class from nine to three
Doing just enough work to get me by
This is my life
And it's ending one paycheck at a time

My life is going way too fast
So bring on those soft footsteps of change

So I can quit crawling out of bed at 5 A.M
Making just enough cash to get me through the week
I'll be sitting in class from nine to three
Doing just enough work to get me by
This is my life
And it's ending one paycheck at a time
