Lyrics
Today is the day
That I drop my defense
And my ignorance
To say no way
Can I let you do this to me
Just because we have no symmetry
This cannot be what we wanted it to be
Today is the day
Where I take it all back
And I let it all stack up again
Don't pretend
That it won't come back and bite me
And to get too big to fight me
This cannot be what we wanted it to be
There's not enough
Connection here for anything
To be passed on, for both to meet
Our hands together in defeat
Or just compassion to concede to
What is right or wrong or who
Can get the better of the two
Or even who knows what these words mean
Today is the day
That I scream out my soul
And my heart beats a whole new beat
We meet
But you don't seem to hear me
Screaming and pounding
Nothing has changed, I can see
I can't see straight
I can feel my soul when it starts to shake
I can feel my heart not beat, but quake
The world is all behind you like
You never knew it passed you by
Changing was too much for me
To ever hope I'd ever see
It's not like death can ever come to life
Today is the day
My heart hits my gut
And digs in a rut
And stops
And hopes
That someday hope will lead to more
Than disappointment in the score of
Everything that ever failed before.
Today is the day...
