[Intro: Ben Murray & Laura Nichol]

This is a spiritual decline

An affliction of the heart, a possession of the mind

(A welcomed collapse of my head held high)

You see, these days and weeks of futile breath

Have worn me down so that there's nothing left

And inspiration only fails me, only fails me time and time again

(Time and time again)

[Chorus: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]

No, it shouldn't take a miracle to get out of bed

But to summon the strength, give me a reason to stand

And start over again

Show me a sign that all is healed in time

And I'll show you ten more that suggest otherwise

Come on and prove me right

[Verse: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]

I've seen this vicious cycle repeat

More pills, but less soul

At least I'm on my feet

(I'll drift through the day just to get back to sleep)

I'll drift through the day just to get back to sleep

Or self-medicate my way into the arms of relief

(Into the arms of relief)

[Chorus: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]

No, it shouldn't take a miracle to get out of bed

But to summon the strength, give me a reason to stand

And start over again

Show me a sign that all is healed in time

And I'll show you ten more that suggest otherwise

Come on and prove me right

Prove me right

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]

This is a spiritual decline

(An affliction of the heart, a possession of the mind)

This is a spiritual decline

(An affliction of the heart, a possession of the mind)
