Punches

(álbum: FTHC - 2022)

Hey, every once in a few months when
All the punches land

Well fuck last year I'm glad it's done
And here's three weak cheers the next will be a better one
Measuring my life in unanswered messages
Stressing all the little stuff, the thing that's pathetic is
I haven't slept bed sober in a long, long time
'Cause I start having arguments as soon as I close my eyes
Vicious fights, bitter and confused
And the dumbest part is, sometimes I even lose
The will to start again
And every day feels like an end

But hey, every once in a few months when
All the punches land
That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter
At least worth a damn

Damnit, goddamn, I went and fucked it up
Every single day like a clock that's stuck
It's another fine morning rolling down in the muck
I've been trying to look up and trying to find me some luck
Every sunrise the cycle starts again
I've been walking into glass doors since 7am
Trying to break the cycle, and to make some new friends
I guess it would be easier than making amends
And then I feel the buzz, the glow
Of that one sweet day a few months ago

But hey, every once in a few months when
All the punches land
That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter
At least worth a damn

Hey, every once in a few months when
All the punches land
That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter
At least worth a damn

And I don't want to be a beggar always asking for slack
Going take the things they threw at me and throw them right back
I'm tired of only ever trying to do what I can
The secret is to try and do the things that you can't

I can't promise that I'm going to be fine
But I'll throw my best punch every single time
Even though I'm skinny, don't know how to fight
I've got the makings of a champion every once in a while.
Twenty four seven, three sixty five
I'm holding up my head the keep the dream alive
Of that one perfect day when the stars align.
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Got the whole world in my sights, and

(Hey, every once in a few months when)
(All the punches land)
(That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter)
(At least worth a damn)

Hey, every once in a few months when
All the punches land
That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter
At least worth a damn

Damn the haters, damn the doubters
Today's my special day
You can't stop me, can't touch me
Can't take it away

Hey, every once in a few months when
All the punches land
That day, I'm a tiger a prize fighter
At least worth a damn
