Just Another Day - Dan Bull

Everyone 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

'Till our hands start bleeding from toil when we work

Wonder why we give up fun, while 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 your mates come together

So get up and let’s celebrate simple pleasures

Treasure the payment of our labours and endeavours

By its very nature nature’s a menace

Unstable and playful in the same measure

It’ll take what it’s given in the space of a second

Fate changes up quicker than a facial expression

Just another day

Just another day

'Till something comes along

And takes it all away

Just another day

Just another day

'Till 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’d be way more unstable with no stablemates

Try blaming fate for laying waste to your favourite place

Take it from me, you won’t make much of a persuasive case

For every grave there is a cradle that’ll take its place

Faded faith 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 that it would stay the same?

Seasons keep changing, leave trees' leaves fading

People keep ageing, each beat knees shaking

And 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

'Till 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

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

'Till 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

'Till 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 will break under pressure

So take 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

'Till 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
