lyrics

Woke up one morning,
Empty bed, empty house, a pounding head
There’s glitter in my beard
And the dog’s looking at me weird
If my friend’s don’t take my calls
Can I even call them my friends at all?
So why are my ears still burning?

Solitude’s become a shawl,
When shadows dance upon the wall
I’ve gone through the looking glass
When I threw and smashed your looking glass
Smeared lipstick on my face
Can wash it off but not the shame
If alone in a forest I fall, can you even say that I fell at all?

All my dreams,
I swallowed them before they could swallow me
I swallowed them all done whole
So why do I feel so chewed out?

Cause it always seems that oh, somedays
Somedays are harder than others

Woke up one morning
Swear I’ve seen this exact scene before
A house a home no more, chased off the one that I adore
How do I know love’s not a lie?
If it’s been a while since I made you cry
Or left your arms in vivid hues
Of coffee blacks and ocean blues?

And so it seems, I’m coming all unravelled
At the seams
I’m coming all unravelled
You know how they love to revel at me

Cause it always seems that oh, somedays
Somedays are harder than others.
