lyrics

Woke up sick but on my feet.
There's a buoyant chorus screaming down the street.
Coffee's burnt and cold
Tastes just fine.
And it don't matter
It don't matter if the safeties switch.
And it don't matter
It don't matter if the bleeding breaks the stitch.

Gerry says hi
Nana thinks there'll be rain
Drew's talking up a flick
And Hannah's bursting in pain.
Hike up my socks and plant a kiss on her thigh.
Forehead's ablaze as her brow touches mine.
She asks for the three-hundred-thousandth time:
"Will this change or is it always this way?"
I say

Just make it through the Goddamned day.

Hold her hand, just not your breath.
Take an inventory. Pawn what you've got left.
Keep the beer for home
Stick to wine.
And it don't matter
It don't matter if the edges fray.
'Cuz you can't batter the twelve-tone splatter
Of the voices in the gray.

Gerry gets by
Nana dances for rain
Drew's flippin' out his shit
And Hannah's boiling in pain.
Open my lungs and drink a burnt caramel sky.
Choke down a luke-warm Corona with lime.
She screams for the Nine-Hundred-Thousandth time.
Bleed me out, scrape me clean, rip me raw in a new way
I say

Just make it through the goddamned day.
Just make it through the goddamned day.
Make an effort to stay.
Just make it through the goddamned...
