Day By Day

(album: Be Consumed - 2022)

Tell me what made you believe that you could
Say all those things till we feel insane
Medicate me, make me feel nothing
You're running down the clock, numb to everything

The motions set in stone
And I've come to call this feeling home

Day by day, so sick of trying
Just to feel, but you're still fighting
You're not okay, so over lying
'Bout what's real, but you're still fighting

Look at the mess we made, it's every time we break
And let ourselves give in that we cave
And lose what's wrong or right
Like light lost in the night
Left broken in plain sight
To choose to grieve on borrowed time

The motions set in stone
And I've made this emptiness my own
The desperation takes its hold

Day by day, so sick of trying
Just to feel, but you're still fighting
You're not okay, so over lying
'Bout what's real, but you're still fighting

What scares me most is what's kept me alive
Wearing a mask to cover what's inside
What scares me most is how it's made me lie
Just to myself, but it's how I've survived

What scares me most is to leave with still so much life
I refuse to let myself give in and lose the fight

Day by day, so fucking sick of trying
Just to feel, but you're still fighting
You're not okay, so over lying
'Bout what's real, but you're still fighting

Day by day you're not okay
