Just Another Day

Every one of us here carries a box
Full of our cares and fears, heavy as rocks
Spending nearly every second checking the locks.
But then we end up spilling everything the second it drops

We plant our seeds in the soil in the dirt
Until our hands start bleeding from toil when we work
Wonder why we give up fun when we boil in the sun
But when all of this is done, then the spoils will be worth it

When are things perfect? Basically never
But tables can turn when our mates come together
So get up and let's celebrate simple pleasures
Treasure the payment of our labour and endeavours

Ah, it's very nature, nature's a menace
It's unstable, playful, in the same measure
It will take what it's given in a space of a second
Fake changes are quicker than a facial expression

Just another day
Just another day
'Til something comes along and takes it all away
Just another day
Just another day
'Til something comes along and takes it all away

Straight away, fate can take away the gains you made
Update and change the rules of the favourite games you play
They mean it literally when they say it's make or break
This place would be more unstable with no stable mates

Try blaming fate for laying ways to your favourite place
Take it from me, you won't make much of a persuasive case
For every grave, there was a cradle that would take its place
Faded fate and fables traded for the latest craze

To display resilience just may be our main saving grace
To persistently insist upon a safer space
To be able to be patient in the face of pain
That's a waiting game, only the bravest faces may sustain

Failure's waiting to make your acquaintance if you're chasing fame
Life is moving quick, so why assume it will stay the same
Seasons keep changing, leave tree's leaves failing
People keep ageing, each peeps knees are shaking

Just when you believe you're free
You're going to meet with Satan
Freeze in fear, realise you might have been mistaken
This isn't even a deep statement I'm even making
Evil keeps creating meaner ways to feed the hate, and

Just another day
Just another day
'Til something comes along and takes it all away
Have a little patience, it will get better
Have a little faith and it'll all come together
Even a diamond will break under pressure
So take a little break, and then make sure you get up

A lot of the time you've got to follow the signs
We live on borrowed time with no promise that tomorrow will arrive
We've lost days hiding from the horrors in the night
We can't see, we're just squandering the light
Then we wonder why we lost our quality of life
When we can't even decide whether we want to live or die
As if it isn't comfortable being confident inside
Such a shame when a diamond doesn't want to even shine

Being hunted for your hide is humbling your pride
We've all been vulnerable, stomach rumbling and tired
Sure, you're not crying, there's just something in your eye
Your cookie's crumbling, there isn't pumpkin in your pie
So come and sit beside, you're invited, there's an empty seat
We're trembling and weak, but your love provides plenty, see?
It's plain to see your empathy for entities in need
Instead of greed, you present a generous energy indeed

Have a little patience, it'll get better
Have a little faith, it'll all come together
Even a diamond will break under pressure
So take a little break, and then make sure you get up
Just another day
Just another day
'Til something comes along and takes it all away

Your brain's aching, you're waking in strange places
But today's too late to change faces
I know it hurts, lying in dirt full of grazes
It drives you berserk, seeing the ways they degrade us
So try to turn the rage into a way to retake
What they've taken away from you

It'll take more than pain just to break us, they'll pay for this
Gracious, you need to be courageous for ages
And step by step the game is afoot
Left, right, left, we're not going to play by the book
With someone craven and crooked, it as they, would they do with us?
I'm doubtful they give a fuck, and this is painful enough

For now, we're laying in wait from above, taking a look
Surveying the base where the thugs have taken the pup
The scale's industrial, and it must be all but unbreakable
But you're more than capable when your faith is unshakable
They're digging themselves a hole that they mistake for an escape tunnel
It's time we gave them payback for their hate, it ain't debatable

Whatever they take, we'll make them pay double, trade for all
The pain they've caused, the trail of trauma's multigenerational
We'll study their organisation, and the way that they patrol
Before we tear down their barricades like they were paper walls
Trash their battle station, so it's no longer operational
Today's the day that we reclaim our name and take control

Just another day
Just another day
'Til something comes along and takes it all away

Have a little patience, it'll get better
Have a little faith, it'll all come together
Even obsidian won't break our depressions
So a little break and then make sure you get up

Don't ever put me in a box, I'm
So clever, you could call me a fox
And no cold weather will stop me kicking arse
I'll stick a trident right in your freaking heart
If you try pulling me and my clique apart, I'll lick a shot
So you drop down quicker than a liquor shot
Lickle sharks try and bite, muddle my childlike style
For the mild type, quiet barks give a wild bite

Vile tykes try and spoil my limelight
Ignored my advice, bye bye, my guy
I feel my family all around me with a lion's pride
The silent night blanketing us in the sky up high
Ride or die wherever the trail takes us
It's a hell of a tale, we'll tell it through the ages
But has there ever been anything more courageous
Than saying farewell, and then turning the pages?

Just another day
Just another day
'Til something comes along and takes it all away
Have a little patience, it'll get better
Have a little faith, it'll all come together
Even a diamond will break under pressure
So take a little break, and then make sure you get up

Just another day
Just another day
