Lyrics
One Day c. 2005
Today?s another mystery, Just try to avoid catastrophe, But you know, you?ll go
Day by day and bide your time, Don?t look know you?re past your prime,
Cause you know, you know,
You can?t fit in you?ve been estranged, You think people think you?re so deranged,
But you say, that?s your way,
You sit there looking soft and sweet, Your fucked up thoughts are so discreet,
But you say one day?
I?m not gonna hold back anymore, I?m not talk this trash anymore,
No more at all?
You sit there watching the news at six, Your endless stare a constant fix,
Cause there?s no good show,
You say the world?s a scary place, You?re so afraid to leave a trace
But you may one day? (x3)
But every now and then she feels so good, she feels so good
And every now and then she thinks that I should, that I should
Understand what?s happenin? when she says, when she says, I?m losing my mind
It?s not so hard for the world to see, The kind of person you want to be,
But you know, you?ll go
Believe in what you say is free, But then tremble in the fear of blasphemy,
Cause you know, you know,
You?re indecisive all damn day, You can?t figure out what to do or say,
But you may someday,
You drift along try to find your way, You?re too far gone, confused, astray,
But you say one day?
I?m not gonna hold back anymore, I?m not gonna talk this trash anymore,
I can?t stand to sit back and watch my life all, all fall apart
So today?s another mystery, Just waiting for atrocity, Cause you know, you?ll go
Looking for a blessed sign, Basting in the wasted time, Cause you know, you know
Tomorrow comes you?re not so free, The pressure?s on, Your life?s decree,
But you say, someday?
So back up, hold it, let?s wait and see, For the truth behind what you believe
And you say, one day? (x4)
