Desperation Day

Intro

I had you once, as a child

I was never lonesome

But I grew old

and you stayed so much younger

With your vile, infinite smile

How could such delicate hands

And steady heart

Be so unforgiving

Every second you’re always leaving me

To rust

But every day I wake up

dying in your wake

So one last time, before I say goodbye

Tell me is there a cure for living?

Is there a cure for living?

Is there a cure for living?

Verse

Begging for more time like some poor panhandler

Till they cut rope, swinging

hanging like a calendar

Calling up old memories like they're your friends

While the death clock tick tocks

slowly measuring your end

Slipping like sands in an hourglass

Hoping heaven can wait

Hell won't mail a “save the date”

Romancing red-letter days that lead you on

Marking X's and O's monthly

Stuck in the “time zone”

Play along until you pop like champagne cork

Allured by last night's party

Now your just the new day's corpse

Walking through the weeks like the living dead

As the dead keep living inside your head

Drinking up your dying days with old vile ichor

Somehow you got yourself going

Every problem figured

Just a stitch of time patching up your skin

But you better get ready

Good times are breezing in

Pre-Chorus

Happy Holidays

There's no fucking around

You got Thanksgiving havoc

Christmastime static

Sundays mundane prayers full of disdain

Happy Holidays

Shit is going down

No New Year's Magic, Valentine's tragic

Birthday worst day to ever be on Earth day

Chorus

For every dying man in his living room

Don't worry

No good news today

All the boys and girls wasting in their tombs

Time to get merry

Desperation Day

(repeat)

Outro

So long the cure for tomorrow

Farewell sorrows of yesterday

Today has come tethered in grace

I feel the rain and sunshine on my face

or is there someone

pissing on me?

(repeat)
