[Intro] [clean electric bass enters with melodic riff] [shimmering modulated electric guitar chords] [boom-bap drum beat starts] [Verse 1] [relaxed male vocals] It's a great day That was a fuckin' stray On my way, yellin' down Mayday Rollin' up what the fuck is that? Hell Mary But yell anyway I love to wake up in the morning just straight get blasted Straight out, last bit, I don't think so Here we go, smokin' the way, wonder if we go, oh no You wanna come with me? Steadily On a little bit of [unintelligible] all naturally Roll the bowl, take a stroll, roll the pipe, get it right In the mix, smokin' from morning and on through the night Get it right, roll it tight, not too tight, you know what I'm talkin' about, just right [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay Got the bass in the trunk and the rest can wait It's a great day, let it drift, let it play Same old room, but it hits a new way It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay No big speech, just a grin and a haze It's a great day, and I'll say it again Wake up, roll up, do it all over, my friend [Verse 2] Another dawn, another blur, the shadows creep and crawl The sun's a lie, a cheap disguise, behind this crumbling wall My phone lights up, a ghost in hand, a name I barely know Another debt, another threat, nowhere left to go The taste of ash, a bitter truth, upon my weary tongue This broken clock, it ticks and mocks, a song that's never sung Just another day, they say, but the darkness starts to bloom In this hollow space, a vacant gaze, just waiting for the tomb. [Verse 3] The city breathes a poisoned sigh, concrete and cold steel Every face a hidden lie, how does anyone feel? I walk the line, a silent mime, through endless, gray-lit streets Each step a struggle, out of time, to the rhythm of defeats The whispers grow, a constant drone, inside my heavy head Wishing I could just be left alone, or better yet, be dead Another day, another fight, against the rising tide Trapped in this endless, fading light, with nothing left to hide. [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay But the darkness inside just won't go away [Verse 4] The laughter sounds like broken glass, a distant, mocking sound Every moment seems to pass, on cursed and hallowed ground I see the joy, I see the light, in eyes that aren't my own Lost in this perpetual night, completely and alone The air is thick with things unsaid, a silence that can sting A tapestry of tangled dread, on every single thing Another day, another plea, to a god who doesn't hear Just the hollow echo of me, consumed by endless fear. [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay But the shadows keep dancing, come what may [Verse 5] The memories flash, a cruel design, of what I used to be A ghost of hope, a faded sign, for all the world to see I trace the scars upon my arm, each one a story told A twisted charm, against the harm, as my spirit turns to cold The future's just an empty page, a story left unpenned Trapped inside this gilded cage, until the bitter end Another day, another breath, a burden hard to bear Just a slow descent towards death, lost in this bleak despair. [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay But the cold in my bones is here to stay [Verse 6] The rain outside, it matches mine, the tears I can't let fall A bitter wine, a broken shrine, against this concrete wall I see the faces, blurred and gray, a sea of vacant stares Wishing I could just break away, from all these heavy cares The world keeps spinning, fast and wild, a blur of motion, grim Just a lost and lonely child, drowning in the whim Another day, another lie, I tell myself it's fine Just a slow and painful goodbye, on this desolate design. [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay But the hope I once held has just slipped away [Verse 7] The clock unwinds, a twisted thread, of moments I regret Every word that's left unsaid, a debt I can't forget I taste the rust, the iron tang, of blood beneath my skin Another bell, another clang, where does the darkness begin? The sun sets low, a final blaze, before the night takes hold Lost in this never-ending maze, a story left untold Another day, another strain, on this fragile, weary soul Just the echo of the falling rain, taking its heavy toll. [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay But the darkness is winning, come what may [Hook] It's a great day, yeah, I'm feelin' okay But the light in my eyes has just gone astray... [Outro] [drums thin out, bass keeps pulsing] I leave the blinds half-open, let the morning cut the room Coffee going cold beside me, speaker hums a low, clean boom It's a great day, even if I barely say it right I let the record spin to nothing, sit there in the light No big finish, no parade, just me and the air I breathe One more round, one more dawn, one more reason to believe It's a great day, yeah, I’m still here to stay And I’ll try it all again when the noise fades away
