one of these days
things are really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide
certified, swept aside
i’ll just blame it on the weather
should’ve read the fine print
they said that i would like it
but i’m still undecided
got worrisome plans and terrible dreams
any day, any week now
i’m really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide

one of these days
things are really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to decide
step aside, suicide
i’m holding out for something better
so until it finds me

some of them describe it
some will even mime it
multiple choices, inaudible screams
every day every week i know
i’m really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide
certified, swept aside
i’ll just blame it on the weather
should’ve read the fine print
one of these days
things are really really gonna get better
until it happens i’m just going to abide

a hundred million have tried and all in vain
even scenery fades yet i remain
unmoved and unphased
patchwork terror set in stone
still counting the days
while the world i know is gone

drowning in flesh and bone
nine ways to sunday
still finding my way
and holding on to world that’s gone

you said you was gonna do better
we’re bugging up the place
here comes the high stepper
the doubt checker, debt collector
smelling out your error, its a new error, time’s up
tick tock, on the clock
time never stop, drop your guard
and your bubble might pop
sweep the floor with you like a dirty mop
ain’t nothing saving you
i’m staying on top

at seven gates
less then amazed
they tried to hold me
they all died before me
so i’ll just made it on my own

in the end there’s no regrets
no deeds undone no words unsaid
its time to slowly fade away
dissolve like sun into the west
clear the stage and head to rest
like scores and scores
who came before
