Nothing's Going Right

Woke up late to a ceiling drip, cold floor and a busted lip

Burned toast black, coffee on my sleeve, phone at 1%, wanna scream

Every light is a red light dare, bus blows past like it doesn't care

Boss says "smile," I grind my teeth, cracked patience underneath

Count to ten, but the numbers snap

Every calm I buy comes back on tap

Tried to hold it, watch it bite

Tell me once more it'll be all right

Nothing's going right, not today, not tonight

Every screw in the sky coming loose mid-flight

Turn the knob and it breaks in my hand

I'm shouting at a brick wall, do you understand?

Nothing's going right, no, nothing's going right

I'm a loaded fuse, a storm that won't die

Don't you dare say it'll be fine

When nothing, nothing's going right

Paycheck thin as a paper cut, rent due with a concrete strut

Check engine light like a jealous eye, rain comes sideways, umbrella dies

Shoe lace snaps as the door slams shut, spilled my guts just to fill their cup

Every plan like a house of cards, and the floor keeps pulling yards

Count to ten, but the map is torn

All my silver linings rusted worn

Tried to fix it, stripped the threads

Tell me once more as the hope runs red

Nothing's going right, not today, not tonight

(Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight)

Pull the lever and the floor gives way

I'm screaming at the static, can you hear what I say?

Nothing's going right, no, nothing's going right

(Going right, going right, going right)

Don't you dare say it'll be fine

When nothing, nothing's going

RIGHT!

I'm duct tape dreams and gasoline breath

I'm choking on the dust of almost and next

If the world won't bend, then let it snap

I'll pound on the clock till the hands fight back

Save your sunrise pep talk cure

I'm not calm, I'm not sure

I'm the rattle in the bones of the night

I'm the no in your neon alright

One step forward, three steps back

Hear that crack? That's the track

Hands up high, fists clenched tight

If it won't go left, I'll drag it right

Nothing's going right, not today, not tonight

(Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight)

Twist the key and the engine laughs

I'm roaring at the thunder till the thunder cracks

Nothing's going right, no, nothing's going right

I'm the last match snarling at the night

Don't you dare say it'll be fine

When nothing, nothing's going right

Nothing's going right, say it, spit it, bite

If the world won't fix, I'll fight it with my spite

Nothing's going right, still I'm here, alive

Grinding down the gears till the gears

IGNITE!
