Worst in the Mornings

Woke up from a fractured dream of a sleepless night
Woke up to face the nightmare of a brightening sky
An alarm in your head, ringing heart echoing with dread, bloodshot eyes
Woke up with the terror of the thought of going outside

But you've got a list of things you've gotta get done today
Of all the things that you should've done yesterday
Piling up, riling up with every delay
You know

It's worst
In the mornings
When it hurts
Without warning
You could stay cowering in your room
But the whole world's towering over you
Cause it's worst in the mornings

Bury your head in the pillow or in the sand
Bury your thoughts in the grip of your shaking hands
Just a dark silhouette trying hard to take it step by step, if you could stand
Then you can bury your heart in the mask of a smiling man

Oh son oh sun what have you done?
Just another burning challenge to overcome
All your troubles, and your struggles you have to confront
You know

It's worst
In the mornings
When it hurts
Without warning
You could stay cowering in your room
But the whole world's towering over you
Cause it's worst in the mornings

Tomorrow can't come quick enough
This is worse than yesterday
And tomorrow you will say the same
And the day after until maybe one day
You'll face up to what's in front of you
And stop putting off your plans
And take a knife to your wrist so you don't have to spend
Another day in the life you can't fucking stand

Tomorrow can't come quick enough
This is worse than yesterday
And tomorrow you will say the same
And the day after until maybe one day
You'll face up to what's in front of you
And stop putting off your plans
And take a knife to your wrist so you don't have to spend
Another day in the life you can't fucking stand
