The morning comes without a warning Another day already forming Eyes are open, body’s here But everything is somewhere near Coffee cold beside the bed A thousand thoughts inside my head The world is moving, I don’t know how I’m supposed to move with it somehow There’s a weight I cannot see Something sitting next to me Whispering low, pulling slow Telling me there’s nowhere to go The black dog And the brain fog The heavy head The endless slog The cold sweat The silhouette The racing heart I can’t reset The black dog And the brain fog Round and round We never stop The black dog And the brain fog I’m still here I’m still here Still here… Still here… Still here… Every little thing becomes a mountain Every little thought becomes an ocean Phone keeps ringing, people talking I nod along but I’m somewhere walking Through a corridor inside my mind Looking for the door I left behind I know the words, I know the tune But somehow I can’t make myself move There’s a noise beneath the noise A thousand little broken toys Buzzing, buzzing, never clear Everything is far too near The black dog And the brain fog The heavy head The endless slog The cold sweat The silhouette The racing heart I can’t reset The black dog And the brain fog Round and round We never stop The black dog And the brain fog I’m still here I’m still here Don’t ask me what I’m thinking. I’m trying to work it out. Don’t ask me where I’m going. I’m trying to find the way out. One step… One breath… One more day… Maybe tomorrow won’t feel the same Maybe the clouds will break Maybe this weight I’ve carried around Is something I don’t have to take Maybe I don’t need to win tonight Maybe surviving is enough Put one foot down Then the other one That’s sometimes more than enough The black dog And the brain fog The heavy head The endless slog The cold sweat The silhouette The racing heart I can’t reset The black dog And the brain fog Round and round We never stop But the black dog Doesn’t own me And the brain fog Doesn’t know me I’m still here I’m still here I’m still here The black dog… The brain fog… Still here… Still here… Tomorrow is another day.
