8 AM and I'm all in love with you
the sun is shining and the flowers seem to bloom
the night has left my soul a clean slate
the woes of yesterday have become out of date
in shower I discover the vastness of my dreams
my hopes and wishes prosper as the day begins
today is tomorrow — I'm gonna start anew
today is the first day which I won't just get through

--

but as events unravel, there are no miracles
I visit the same places, I'm stuck with the same fools
and you would think that by now I should've understood
that nothing ever changes, nothing's ever good
refused to follow the herd — I'm a straying sheep
the heart in my stomach says it is time to sleep
but bed is not yet ready, time is not yet up
I feel my times with means to cover the big gap

--

mind-numbing lasts a while, but as distractions shrink
and as I try to fall asleep, my mind is bound to think
this should be a water bed from all the tears it binds
this should be a deathbed — I've died here so many times
I close my eyes at last — oh, what a day I've had
with all of these emotions — hopeful, empty, sad
it's off to a quiet world with no fears and no pain
tomorrow — it will start all over again.
