but my favorite shirt had a stain
found all my cigarettes were damp
but i haven’t smoked in years
drifted outside for a little light
but the sun was on a coffee break
sought the cleansing of my life
but nature outright refused to rain
wanted some music to enlighten me
but the radio’s songs resounded flat
sang all the notes left in my soul
but my entire world was off-key
removed the last of my chains
but ran into a room with hungry wolves
tried to jump off the nearest cliff
but i landed firmly on my feet
gave every last one of my dreams
in exchange for a single
...moment...
but my currency was refused
it's just one of those days
when all my rights
are flagged as wrongs
and all my wrongs are just that
one of those days
when life grins in my direction
as it shoves its ironies
up my ass
