The Garden - "Clench To Stay Awake"

"Clench To Stay Awake" by The Garden from the album 'Kiss My Super Bowl Ring,' available now
Order at thegarden.ffm.to/kmsbr
Lyrics
here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate
no issues to speak upon
as I trust in my strong will
I’ve made it many times before
and I can get through it again
control myself enough
to make it through the plane
to make it through the pain
how does this pain start
I can clench away
here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate
tell me that I’ve gotta clench to stay awake
tell me that I’ve gotta clench the pain away
here comes the pain, I can blow it away
find a way to cope for another day
sharp pain coming on, I’m blacked out
next time it comes, I’m not gonna back out
run to the back, find a place to lie down
get on my back, hope the pain will die down
ashamed of my mind
ashamed of my body
from now on I’m in control
but can I keep it all up
here comes another day
where I clench to stay awake
here comes another day
where trauma becomes my fate
it’s a struggle of the mind
cause and effect upon my body
it will no longer take over
as long as my will is good
not another day
where I clench to stay awake
not another day
where trauma becomes my fate
