lyrics

The cards seem to deal me much too hard these days
Folded hands get shuffled back to play
No I'm not one to make excuses for my current state
All I'm askin' is for an empty slate, oh

It's the same old day
Nothing new, nothing's changed
You keep digging for heaven, but there's only hell to pay
And I'm holding my breath like the whole world's at stake
And I don't know how much more I'm down to take
Something's bound to break

The pressure builds and fills your fragile figure to the bone
How many days can you command alone?
I have no plans to jump this ship or turn around mid-flight
No I'm not going down without a fight, no

It's the same old day
Nothing new, nothing's changed
You keep digging for heaven, but there's only hell to pay
And I'm holding my breath like the whole world's at stake
And I don't know how much more I'm down to take
Something's bound to break

Oh, I'm not sure how anyone survives
But you've got to realize
That you can't give in until the miracle arrives

It's the same old day
Nothing new, nothing's changed
You keep digging for heaven, but there's only hell to pay
And I'm holding my breath like the whole world's at stake
And I don't know how much more I'm down to take
