It's been a long day

When nothing seems to be goin my way

I really don't need a lot

Just trying to hold on to what I got

Lord knows it's been a while

Since my face has cracked a smile

So hot in the midday sun

Seem to be burnin' everyone

Oh self destruction

It is keeping me from functioning

I try to build things up

I build things up and I tear them down

Oh, I'm escaping

I'm escaping this big blue day

And now I'm trying

Tyin' to look out into the horizon

Oh, I got no motivation

Oh, I need some inspiration

Try and get some motivation

To help me, help me get through this day

And then the winter comes

I'm hardly seeing any sun

Hibernation's taking me

Into a distant sleep

Lord knows it's been a while

Since my face has cracked a smile

So cold in the winter months

Seem to be chillin' everyone

Oh self destruction

It is keeping me from functioning

And I try to build things up

I build things up and I tear them down

Oh, I'm escapin'

I'm escaping this big blue day

And now I, I am tryin'

Tryin' to look out into the horizon

Oh, I've got no motivation

Oh, I need some inspiration

I try and get some motivation

To help me, help me get through this day

Oh, I'm escapin'

I'm escaping this big blue day

And now I, I am tryin'

Tryin' to look out into the horizon

Oh, I'm escapin'

I'm escaping this big blue day

And now I, I am tryin'

Tryin' to look out into the horizon
