It aint' always easy

The job is to wake up every day and drain my heart of its heaviness
It's not so bad, but there is a nervous dread that rests in my belly
It is combated with the pulp of optimism, whether I'm fakin it or not
What really helps is to treat life exactly as it is
Random, dangerous, extreme, monotonous, everything.
Don't be shocked, don't be dull
I try to take it all
good and bad
because I know that there is no miracle place, no goal, no happy ending
no sad ending, really...
But I get these nerve bundles and I think they've been there the whole time
stressing about tornados and tsunamis at 6 years old
but I've learned to ebb the tide a little
day by day, hour by hour, sometimes
My job is to wake up in the morning
stare at life into it's endless eyes
and give and receive the truth
I tell her she's beautiful, I tell her she terrifies me
She says the same to me
And we both move on
We both do what we gotta do.
