Tomorrow's second chance, cuz
Today I went for morning's waste,
I wasted it in my stupour, and the
Guilt gnaws inside of me, like
A demon clawing from my gut, the
Day I passed in idlessness, I had
No energy, an excuse I've grown too
Enamored of, today I stared across at
The TV set, and saw blood, and smoke
And twicthing corpses, and it's
Sad that I'm immune, today was
No better than the day that came
Before, so much killing, so much
Violence, so much anger, it's
Insane, tomorrow's second chance,
Cuz today has passed in silence
And frustrated contemplation,
Tomorrow it will change, I'm sick
Of idlessness, tomorrow I start
Again, tomorrow I chase my dreams
Wholeheartedly, cuz today taught
Me that every change must begin
With a single step.
