it's been a long day   when nothing seems to be goin my way   i really dont need a lot   just trying to hold on to what i got   lord knows it's been a while   since my face has cracked a smile   so hot in the midday sun   seem to be burnin everyone   oh self destruction it is keeping me from functioning   i try to build things up   i build things up   and i tear them down   oh i'm escaping   i'm escaping this big blue day   and now i'm trying   tryin to look out into the horizon   oh i got no motivation   oh i need some inspiration   try and get some motivation   to help me   help me get through this day   and then the winter comes   i'm hardly seeing any sun   hibernation's taking me   into a distant sleep   lord knows it's been a while   since my face has cracked a smile   so cold in the winter months   seem to be chillin everyone   oh self destruction it is keeping me from functioning   and i try to build things up   i build things up   and i tear them down   oh i'm escapin   i'm escaping this big blue day   and now i am tryin   tryin to look out into the horizon   oh i've got no motivation   oh i need some inspiration   i try and get some motivation   to help me   help me get through this day   oh i'm escapin   i'm escapin this big blue day   and now i am trying   trying to look out into the horizon   oh i'm escapin   i'm escaping this big blue day   and now i am tryin   trying to look out into the horizon
