Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee Black as my lungs
Tastes like a Tuesday morning
Sunlight
Stinging my eyes
The devil is a morning person
I scrub the sleep from my skin
Scrubbing
Bleaching
Fading
The mirror is a liar
My face is a map of a place I forgot
[Chorus] Another day to pretend
Another day to pretend
I am glad I am here
I am glad I am here
Throw a party for the paycheck
Bury the dream in the backyard
Smile until your jaw breaks
Smile until your jaw breaks
[Post-Chorus] Ha ha ha
Ba da ba da
La la la
Keep it moving
[Verse 2] Fluorescent
Humming a hymn
Cubicle walls are closing in
Staple
File
Forget
The clock is a heavy hammer
Nails me to the swivel chair
Ten thousand hours
A lifetime of lunch breaks
Counting down to a coffin
Better luck next time
Better luck next life
[Chorus] Another day to pretend
Another day to pretend
I am glad I am here
I am glad I am here
Throw a party for the paycheck
Bury the dream in the backyard
Smile until your jaw breaks
Smile until your jaw breaks
[Bridge] Tie the tie
Tighten the noose
Polishing the plastic fruit
The grass is green
The sky is blue
The lie is clean
The lie is new
The lie is you
[Chorus] Another day to pretend
Another day to pretend
I am glad I am here
I am glad I am here
Throw a party for the paycheck
Bury the dream in the backyard
Smile until your jaw breaks
Smile until your jaw breaks
[Post-Chorus] Ha ha ha
Ba da ba da
La la la
Keep it moving
[Outro] Punch the card
Punch the wall
Wait for the weekend
Wait for the end
Goodnight
See you at six
See you at six
See you at six
