The cards seem to deal me
much too hard these days
Folded hands get shuffled
back to play
No I'm not one to make excuses
for my current state
All I'm askin'
is for an empty slate oh
It's the same old day
Nothing new nothing's changed
You keep digging for heaven
but there's only hell to pay
And I'm holding my breath
like the whole world's at stake
And I don't know
how much more
I'm down to take
Something's bound to break
The pressure builds
and fills your fragile figure
to the bone
How many days
can you command alone
I have no plans to jump
this ship or turn around mid flight
No I'm not going down
without a fight no
It's the same old day
Nothing new
nothing's changed
You keep digging for heaven
but there's only hell to pay
And I'm holding my breath
like the whole world's at stake
And I don't know
how much more
I'm down to take
Something's bound to break
Oh I'm not sure
how anyone survives
But you've got to realize
That you can't give in
until the miracle arrives
It's the same old day
Nothing new
nothing's changed
You keep digging for heaven
but there's only hell to pay
And I'm holding my breath
like the whole world's at stake
And I don't know
how much more
I'm down to take
