Face The Day

from The Leaves by Short Hand

lyrics

There’s a train that swims through this town like a fish
Everybody know which side they're on, everybody gets it
And the wind that blows my hair around,
The rain that falls on these streets
Hands in my pockets and feet getting wet,
Concrete sitting inside my head and yet
I'm going to face the day
I'm going to get up and face the day again

Every year a new way of disappearing begins
Every day a new fear looks in the mirror and grins
And even stone statues lining the bridge that I strolled
Across with Scott in Paris, have a way of living
It's hard to describe, there's no life at first
And then there is
I'm going to face the day
I'm going to get up and face the day again

There's danger in the ocean and danger in the air
There's danger in the future and danger everywhere
Sirens in the nighttime are just reminders

That danger’s not afraid to crawl
Danger’s not afraid of getting ground up into gravel
Danger’s not afraid of nothing at all
I'm going to face the day
I'm going to get up and face the day again

In the end, a set of sounds collect themselves into different shapes one might call "albums." Some sound like this and some sound like that. ... more
