Bad Day/Good Night

Have you ever wished yourself into a different state of mind?

Felt as if you could resist or even slow the rate of time

But no matter what you do, you know it won't delay the grind

Watch while you become someone who wasn't so afraid to climb

It's easy getting started, but it's harder closing up

When you're trying to extend the end, it's like you're smoking butts

And you can't let go although it's over, bro, I know it's nuts

You may be tardy to the party, but at least you're showin' up

I remember just like yesterday, I lived a different life

Kept my eyes upon the prize until I let it slip from sight

Told myself that when I find what's on my list, I'll be alright

Though I know there's no such thing as getting better overnight

But I'm mad now

'Bout to lash out [gah damn!]

Gotta get out of my own background

Don't lay your ass down if you ain't got far

Delay the round with a false start

Hey now, you're a rockstar,

But you don't even listen to Smash Mouth

Goin' away are the black clouds,

But homie, one day they'll be back around

Pay to know, take the blow [nooo!]

I ain't talking fellatio

It's a hit so hard it could break your nose,

With a shitty victory to loss ratio

It's a little bitty dose of inspiration when the world's in a state of deterioration

You can take the Road from Ray, but you can't take Ray from the Road

That's the fuckin' way she goes!

It don't matter what it takes

There's so much at stake,

But it sucks to wait

And I must alleviate some of the weight before I suffocate

You feelin' lucky, mate?

Why, yes, as a matter of fact, that's exactly the way that I feel

And I'll be taking the deal so I can make it a meal

And maybe that's gonna make me happy, wadaya say?

My brother, it's gonna be great [yeah!]

This time I'm serious, I've had it up to here with this

And it's a fools goal soul-searching when a person's spiritless

I feel so delirious

Life is so mysterious

And when the cat gets curious, I'm absolutely furious and

I had a tough time

Couldn't memorize my lines, so I improvised

I'm taking what's mine

The only way to end a bad day is to say goodnight

So I say goodnight

To the bad guys, blowin' like a bagpipe

Look at this half-pint, pretendin' he can act right

I know you had time to waste, and that's why you made me mad

My mistake!

The landmines were placed, my path was forsaken

Tell me what exactly happens if I take a bath with the toaster?

Put it on a poster

I be gettin' motion sickness from this rollercoaster [ay]

Every one of us got a bucket to kick

And it don't matter what you put on the list

Just as long as you're strong enough to get along

You're in the midst of it all, but you don't pick up the call

You keep it covered like your nipples and balls,

And if a nickel is all you got then you better be ready to roll out

Autobots

Small-time like a mom-and-pop shop

Man, I'm such a sucker

Like a lollipop

I'm on my own island, so call me Gilligan

Wonder how long before I kill again

Willikers!

Cut it like umbilical

Phil & Lil DeVille shit, 'cuz everybody's so similar

It's a Balto blizzard, and I'm all too familiar

With the winter conditions that give me shiverin' digits

Nah, bitch, I gotta thaw

Givin' it to ya raw,

Cuttin' through like a sawblade

You're off base

This time, I'm flippin' the desk

I didn't invest proper, so I'm missin' the check

I never get any rest, life is a mess, and it's anyone's guess

When the next foot's goin' to drop

I'm blowin' my top like Majin Buu

I got to do something, cause I'm runnin' outta breath

But I can see it like it's glow-in-the-dark

I know in my heart that soon enough I'm gonna collect, because

I had a tough time

Couldn't memorize my lines, so I improvised

I'm taking what's mine

The only way to end a bad day is to say goodnight

So I say goodnight

To the demons, silence, the screamin' [shutup!]

How many evenings until I go to sleep? [god!]

Who woulda guessed that smokin' weed is not enough to get a ghost to leave?

Woe is me,

See, you shouldn't cut down your only tree, sell your soul for free

Hold me 'til I'm gone-zo

I'm goin' off-road, and everything unspoken will remain undisclosed

'Cuz fuck it, bro, jump the boat

View the truth to the rumors of the undertow

And then, wadaya know,

It's just the ocean

It's like I drank a love potion

'Cuz emotions just won't leave me the fuck alone

I tried to hit the brake and somethin' broke

Life stretched me until my back cracked

But I'ma snap back like a bungee rope

Where do you stand?

Where will I land?

Are you prepared to handle unfair demands?

Nah, you barely can

My man, you're hardly aware that nobody cares

Are you awake yet?

Now you stand starin' up the damn stairs

I dare you to take steps

Life is like a latex, 'cuz it's a tight squeeze

No matter what size you might be

And we're headed for a great stress on the high seas

With a raincheck on the nice breeze

The future is goin' to find me

Got to put the past behind me

Never gonna let a bad day define me

Because I know it's only for the time being

Never gonna let a bad day define me

Because I know it's only for the time being

'Cuz, uh,

I didn't feel like doing this today

But I did

Here we are

Have you ever wished yourself into a different state of mind? [ I wanted to sit]

Felt as if you could resist or even slow the rate of time [on my ass, ya know?]

But no matter what you do, you know it won't delay the grind [doomscroll, play some videogames]

Watch while you become someone who wasn't so afraid to climb [I didn't have to do this]

It's easy getting started, but it's harder closing up [I did not want to expend any bit of effort]

When you're trying to extend the end, it's like you're smoking butts

And you can't let go although it's over, bro, I know it's nuts [But if I don't, who will?]

You may be tardy to the party, but at least you're showin' up [I feel unmotivated, depressed, I don't give a shit]

I remember just like yesterday, I lived a different life

Kept my eyes upon the prize until I let it slip from sight [So what you're sad?]

Told myself that when I find what's on my list, I'll be alright [Everybody's fuckin' sad]

Though I know there's no such thing as getting better overnight [Get to work]

But I'm mad now

You know a bad mental health day

Doesn't necessarily have to be a bad mental health night

Yeah, I'm mad now

And you can find the peace to sleep

Ohhh,

You can find that

You know I'm mad now

You've already got that, you know?

It's yours man

I'm mad now

It is yours and you are forgetting that

And I'm just here to remind you, while I still got time

To let you know that you still got time

So sleep it off!

And we'll try again in the morning

Love ya, bud
