Everybody has those days
No one knows when it's today
Anyone is blind to see
Some have fun, today not me

Can't talk about it,
Even those who'd listen
My life's not their concern.

For a pair of ears I still yearn...

They don't know why,
I didn't laugh awhile,
Why I sound so queer,
Why I fail so dear
Why I bleed a tear
Think I don't hear,
What they say in their shade
What they won't say to my face,
Think I don't feel the shame
Think I'm the one who's lame,
When it should be them, ashamed

But inside I know it's daft
All they see is the smokescreen I craft
Why does everyone worth keeping
Slowly seem to fade away?
Why does the sun that cures the frozen
Burn the bodies, laid as bait...
Why does that smile wither so
When I thought we were okay?
Because I can't stand as proud
I faltered for just a day

A bad day
