Just to Get Through - Ships Have Sailed

I open my eyes, and I look to the sun in surprise and I slept away the day

I try to hold on, but the urge to sleep is so strong and I slowly drift away

And I think that it’s time, stop wasting my mind

There are things that define you

Dreams that can blind you

Feelings inside you that won’t go away

You don’t let 'em all out or talk much

About all the little things you have to do just to get through the day

I’m trying to sleep, but reality hits me so deep and I’m wide awake now

I try to hold on, but the impulse to freak is so strong and I’m feeling sick now

This dizzying life, cuts me inside like a razor sharp knife

There are things that define you

Dreams that can blind you

Feelings inside you that won’t go away

You don’t let 'em all out or talk much

About all the little things you have to do just to get through the day
