[Verse 1]

Waking up again at 5 in the morning

Welcome to the next day of your life

Count up all the ways the day could fuck up

Lose count again

Hope that you slept good last night


[Verse 2]

Slow morning

The world is on fire again

You try and tune it out, but

A friend of a friend just died, and

It’s on the news and the TV and the feeds

And the coffee isn't strong enough for this

Didn’t think we could be so tired

While being so fucking pissed


[Chorus]

We all had something on our minds yeah

Don’t think we’re gonna shake it this time

Maybe we can light it up and

Sit on back and watch it burn


[Verse 3]

Trying to go to sleep at 10 in the evening

Gonna lay awake at least till 3

Count up all the ways I made the same mistakes

Lose count again

This can't be all there is to me

(Okay, alright)


[Verse 4]

Why fight it

I’m gonna be a wreck again (Okay)

I’d end it, but a friend of a friend of a friend

Just died and

I know It seems selfish to live a life so fucking small

But this world it beats me until

I fit right in your palm


[Chorus]

We all had something on our minds yeah

Don’t think we’re gonna shake it this time

Maybe we can light it up and

Sit on back and watch it burn
