How Hard the Day

Write me a prescription, keep the lonelies at bay
How much of this friction will it take to enflame
I don't need a doctor to diagnose pain
All the pricks and bruises yet somehow we stay
When it hurts
You know how hard
You know how hard
I rub my nose in the dirt
And it hurts
Started with some pride, all ends in decay
Told you I was lying when I said I was brave
There's no silver lining at the end of this page
Life is an affliction, we all get in the way
When it hurts
You know how hard
You know how hard
I rub my nose in the dirt
And it hurts

You know how hard
You know how hard
I rub my nose in the dirt
And it hurts
Can't believe I can get so bleak
I don't swing this way, so to speak
And when I bleed, all I see is decay
I don't swing that way
When it hurts
You know how hard
You know how hard
I rub my nose in the dirt
And it hurts
You know how hard
You know how hard
I rub my nose in the dirt
And it hurts
