how hard the day

write me a prescription

keep the lonelies at bay

how much of this friction will it take to enflame?

i don't need a doctor to diagnose pain

for the pricks and bruises

yet somehow we stay

when it hurts

you know how hard

you know how hard

i rub my nose in the dirt

and it hurts

started with some crying

all ends in decay

told you i was lying when i said i was brave

there's no silver lining at the end of this page

life is an affliction

we all get in the way

when it hurts

you know how hard

you know how hard

i rub my nose in the dirt

and it hurts

when it hurts

you know how hard

you know how hard

i rub my nose in the dirt

and it hurts

can't believe i can get so bleak

i don't swing this way

so to speak

and when i bleed

all i see is decay

i don't swing that way

when it hurts

you know how hard

you know how hard

i rub my nose in the dirt

and it hurts

you know how hard

you know how hard

i rub my nose in the dirt

and it hurts
