Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Alarm cuts the dark at seven-ten sharp Thought it was three but the morning had started Coffee still waiting, mind still slow Dreams still hanging where the night won’t go Drive through the desert, Albuquerque sky Sun climbing lazy while the traffic rolls by Laptop opens, screens flicker alive Another long day just trying to survive Pre-Chorus Meetings and emails, words on a page Some days feel calm, some days feel caged Chorus But it’s the same old rhythm every day Wake up, work hard, try to find a way Grad school nights and the daylight grind Running two worlds in the back of my mind Some days smooth and some days rough Some days feeling like enough’s enough But I keep showing up anyway Living that Wednesday grind every day ⸻ Verse 2 Morning moves slow, the hours crawl by Staring at the clock while the time slips by Talking with coworkers down the hall Trying to keep pace with it all Thoughts spinning circles in the back of my head Books on the desk waiting to be read Some days clear and some days fog Trying to push through the mental smog Pre-Chorus Sometimes the gears just don’t want to turn Even the strongest engines can burn Chorus But it’s the same old rhythm every day Wake up, work hard, try to find a way Grad school nights and the daylight grind Running two worlds in the back of my mind Some days smooth and some days rough Some days feeling like enough’s enough But I keep showing up anyway Living that Wednesday grind every day ⸻ Verse 3 Six o’clock hits and I’m finally home Dinner on the table but the mind’s still gone Books on the desk but the brain says wait Not tonight man, just give it a break Seinfeld laughs through the quiet room Steam from the shower clears the gloom Another long day slowly fades away Tomorrow’s already on its way ⸻ Bridge People said I’d never get this far Now I’m chasing dreams under desert stars Some days heavy, some days light But I’m still standing in the fight ⸻ Final Chorus Yeah it’s the same old rhythm every day Wake up, work hard, try to find a way Grad school nights and the daylight grind Running two worlds in the back of my mind Maybe tired but I won’t quit Every step makes me stronger a bit Another sunrise on the way Living that Wednesday grind every day
